  • Confirm that the correct tax locations are set in Shopify.

  • Ensure the customer is marked as taxable and that their location is correctly set (for example, the right country or state).

  • Review Shopify’s tax rules and legislation for your region. Certain categories such as digital goods, food, clothing, or services may be taxed differently.

For example, Shopify’s tax system treats Labor as non-taxable in Florida. In this case, you would need to create an override for your Service Items Collection in Shopify to force tax to apply.
