Simple Tax Module

If your tax needs are simple, you can configure the simple tax module to provide a specific tax-rate for items based on the shipping address. You can specify a rate for specific postal-codes, cities, states, or countries.

SimpleTaxModule Configuration

To configure your site to use SimpleTaxModule, include the following bean definition within your Spring application context file.

<bean id="blTaxModule" class="org.broadleafcommerce.core.pricing.service.module.SimpleTaxModule">
   <!-- Set properties for your specific tax configuration.  -->
</bean>

Example:

In the following example, the SimpleTaxModule is configured to charge 8.5% for addresses with postal-code 75033 and 75034. For other addresses in the state of Texas, the module is configured to charge 8.25% sales tax.

<bean id="blTaxModule" class="org.broadleafcommerce.core.pricing.service.module.SimpleTaxModule">
  <property name="itemPostalCodeTaxRateMap">
    <map>
      <entry key="75033" value=".085" />
      <entry key="75034" value=".085" />
    </map>
  </property>
  <property name="itemStateTaxRateMap">
    <map>
      <entry key="TX" value=".0825" />  
    </map>
  </property>
</bean>

Other Properties

The simple tax module supports the following properties. Only one rate will be applied for an item. The precedence is postal-code then city then state then country then default rate. When configuring cities, states, and countries, the value must be uppercase.
