Edit tax jurisdictions

Use Management Center Tools to edit the already defined tax jurisdictions.

Procedure

  1. Open Management Center Tools.
  2. From Hamburger menu, click Tax > Tax Jurisdictions. The Tax Jurisdictions page opens for the selected store.
  3. Click on the Jurisdiction. On Edit tax jurisdiction page, update the information given in Tax jurisdiction details.
  4. You can update the Name, entered for tax jurisdiction.
  5. To edit a jurisdiction:
    • From the Country list, select a country.
    • Use the State/Province/Region list or field as follows:
      • If you selected Canada, United States, or Japan as your country, do one of the following steps:
        • From the list, select a state, province, or region for the chosen country.
        • If one tax rate applies to the entire country, then the state, province, or region field can be left blank.
      • If you selected a country other than Canada, United States, or Japan, do one of the following steps:
        • From this field, type the name of the state, province, or region for the chosen country.
        • If the tax rate applies to the entire country, or if the country does not have states, provinces, or region then leave this field blank.
    • Click Save to save the updated changes. You can see the updated jurisdiction listed on the landing page.
    • Repeat step 4 to update an existing tax jurisdiction.
  6. Manually update the JURST database table for the applicable fields (COUNTRYABBR or STATEABBR). For example, the following SQL command is used to update the database for a sales tax jurisdiction for the state of Ohio: 
    
update JURST set STATEABBR='OH' where STOREENT_ID=
store_ID
    Issue this command once for each jurisdiction that you want to update.
