Purpose

Taxes define how tax amounts are applied to logistics charges and invoices. Tax rules are applied automatically during invoice generation for packages and shipments.

What Taxes Are Used For

Taxes are used to:

  • Apply tax charges to logistics invoices

  • Ensure compliance with local tax requirements

  • Standardize tax calculation across all operations

Taxes are applied on top of tariff-calculated charges.

Where Taxes Apply

Once configured, Taxes are applied during:

  • Locker Package invoice generation

  • Shipment invoice generation

  • Customer invoice display

Taxes do not apply to consolidations directly, as consolidations do not generate invoices.
