Multi Business Entity Taxes 

The Multi Business Entity feature enables you to configure the taxes for each of your entities individually, thereby ensuring you comply with the regulations that apply to the locations you operate.

Prerequisites 

The following prerequisites apply prior to configuring taxes for your entities:

  • The organizational addresses must be updated at a site and entity level prior to configuring taxes.
  • The access to the configuration settings is defined by the user's access level. Ensure you provide adequate access levels for your users to undertake necessary tasks.
  • Configure all applicable currencies within your Chargebee site.

Configure Taxes 

You can configure taxes at a site level or entity level, let's review each of these options in detail:

Site Level

Follow the steps below to configure taxes at a site level:

  1. Log into your Chargebee site.

  2. Click Settings > Configure Chargebee.

  3. Click Taxes from the Billing section.

  4. Click Configure Tax.

  6. Add the Regions where you have registered and are liable to collect tax.

In this example, we will review the addition of India as a region and configure applicable Goods and Services Tax (GST) rates.

  6. Select applicable state from the drop-down list.

  7. Add applicable details within the fields and click Submit.
    Note: Check the Override default tax rates checkbox to override the default GST rates configured in the previous steps.
