Note: Perform this task through the Wix Dashboard outside of your regular business hours.

Step 1 | Create a tax group

Make sure to give the tax group a name that makes it easy for you to identify. Customers do not see the group name on receipts or at the point of sale.

To create a tax group:

Logon to the Wix dashboard on a PC or laptop.
On the main menu, scroll down and click Settings.
On the Settings page, click Tax.
On the Tax page, scroll down to Tax groups.
Click +Add Custom Group.
In the Add a new group popup, enter a name in the Group name field.
Note: Ignore the Avalara Tax Code drop-down menu.
Click Add.

After setup, you'll see the tax group you created listed with your default tax groups.

Step 2 | Go the Province tax settings

Update the tax rate on the tax group that has been created.

On the Tax page, scroll up to the Tax locations section and click on your province/territory.
Locate the tax group you created, and enter your tax rate minus the tax being removed.
Note: For Ontario, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and PEI, set the rate to 0%. For other provinces/territories, set the rate minus the 5% federal GST.
Click Save.

Step 3 | Add items to the group

Now that your tax groups are set up, you can assign items to your groups.

To assign items to your tax group:

On the Tax page, scroll down to the Tax groups section and locate the new tax group you created.
Hover your mouse cursor over the name of the new tax group, then click the Add Products button that appears.
In the Products in tax group popup, search for or select a product or product category in the list.
Place checkmarks next to the product(s) that you wish to add to the tax group.
Click the Save button at the bottom of the popup.

When a customer purchases the qualifying goods, they will not be charged the federal tax rate.
