Tax Rates

The Tax Rates menu is the store-wide list of tax rates and the actions you can take on them. It mirrors the admin Settings → Taxes → Tax Rates screen.

What a tax rate is

A tax rate is a single rule that defines the tax percentage for a location. Each rate targets a country (and optionally a state) plus a zip — either a single zip code or a zip-code range. On its own a rate does nothing to a product; rates are grouped into Tax Categories, and a tax category is then assigned to a product. At checkout, the rate whose location matches the customer's address determines the tax applied.

Fields

Field	Meaning
identifier	A unique label for the rate.
isZip	true = the rate targets a zip range (zipFrom–zipTo); false = it targets a single zipCode.
zipCode	The single zip code, set only when isZip is false.
zipFrom / zipTo	The start/end of the zip range, set only when isZip is true.
state / country	The location the rate applies to. country is a two-letter ISO code.
taxRate	The tax percentage (a number from 0 to 100).

Conditional zip rules

When you create or update a rate, the zip fields you must supply depend on isZip:

isZip	Required zip fields	Targets
false	zipCode	A single zip code
true	zipFrom and zipTo	A zip-code range

Supplying isZip: true without zipFrom/zipTo, or isZip: false without zipCode, is rejected with a validation error. On update the rule is re-checked after your change is merged onto the existing rate — so if you flip isZip you must also send the matching zip field(s) in the same request.

Create, update, delete

• Create adds a new rate. identifier must be unique, country is a two-letter ISO code, and taxRate is 0–100.
• Update is partial — send only the fields you want to change; omitted fields keep their current value. The conditional zip rules above are re-validated.
• Delete removes the rate permanently. Any tax categories that referenced it keep working; only the rate itself is removed.

There is no mass-delete and no export for tax rates over GraphQL — rates are deleted one at a time.

Relationship to Tax Categories

Tax rates are the building blocks of Tax Categories. A tax category bundles one or more tax rates together; products are assigned a tax category, not individual rates. To change which rates a product taxes by, edit its tax category's rate list — see the Tax Categories menu.
