You may want to add tax automatically to your Recurring Billing transactions. You can set the tax rate within the Portal and the tax will automatically be added to your Recurring Billing transactions.
Tax can only be systematically applied to Recurring Billing transactions. For any other transactions processed through your account, the tax will need to be added to the total amount before submitting the payment.
Must know:
- You must have Full Access to your Account Settings to make these changes.
