MJ Platform

Set up tax rates in MJ Platform to specify how products in each category and subcategory are taxed.

Note: Tax rates alone do not determine the final tax charged to a client at checkout. After setting up tax rates, set up <a href="https://intercom.help/mjplatform/en/articles/6650655" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">tax profiles</a> and add the applicable tax rates to them.

NOTE: The Office of Medical Marijuana cannot provide, and this guide is not intended to provide, guidance on which items are taxable or non-taxable. This guide provides instructions on how to set up PA State Sales Tax in MJ Freeway.
