Shopify Tax Reports

Step-by-step description of how to get a Tax report in Shopify

Taxes are the part of business in which it is very unpleasant to make a mistake. And even though Shopify doesn't file tax returns for store owners, it helps you control the process of calculating taxes, adjust interest rates, and store all this information in reports.

Mipler Reports simplifies the process by offering flexible, customized solutions for Shopify stores to solve sales tax problems. Check out other Shopify reports to learn more about the platform's capabilities.

Why Are Shopify Tax Reports Important

Shopify tax reports are the main documents that help to control the percentage of sales or profit paid to the state. Without them, it would be difficult to check and prove that all actions were legal and fair. In addition, they provide additional advantages when used for stores:

  • Ensure compliance with tax legislation in all countries, not just the US: each country has its tax rate. If you correctly set up tax rates for different countries and states, Mipler reports for Shopify will automatically account for all the necessary taxes.
  • Simplify the financial audit process: the reports are well-structured, providing detailed and reliable records, and the information is easy to customize with the help of filters and adding the necessary columns.
  • Help analyze taxes for each product: one of the Shopify tax reports from Mipler helps you see what tax you must pay for each product unit.

How to make Shopify tax reporting more flexible

Tax systems of different countries differ.
Mipler allows you to tailor Shopify tax reporting to your specific needs:

  • Customizable settings: Change tax rates and rules directly in Shopify to match local laws.
    All changes are automatically applied in Mipler for Shopify tax reports.
  • Segment reports based on criteria: create reports based on product categories, regions, or periods required for correct documentation.
  • Dynamic date ranges: You can set appropriate filters in each report.
    They will help you file taxes at the right time.

Create Shopify Sales Tax Reports with Mipler

Mipler offers Shopify store owners not only to read sales tax reports. Of course, there are other reports, which we will cover in the next section. However, it is worth paying attention to the fact that Mipler Shopify reports for taxes can not only simplify the management of taxes. In addition, you can get solutions to the following problems:

  1. Problem: Different systems require different data formats.

    Solution: You can export the data as Microsoft Excel (.xlsx), PDF document (.pdf), Web page (.html), or comma-separated values (.csv).

  2. Problem: The team needs to share the report and be able to edit it.

    Solution: All reports can be exported to Google Sheets and shared with team members.

  3. Problem: The report has a lot of data, so it is difficult to see and make a single opinion about the dynamics immediately.

    Solution: Each report has a dashboard for data visualization.

  4. Problem: The team needs to view reports in the app and have access to dashboards.

    Solution: Each report has a unique reference. You don't need to be authorized to access the data; you just need a link.

FAQ

What products are taxable?

Taxable products vary by jurisdiction but generally include physical goods, digital products, and services. Always check regional tax laws to ensure compliance.

How does Shopify handle sales tax?

Shopify uses a tax engine to calculate sales taxes automatically based on customer location and product type. It helps businesses comply with tax regulations in various regions.

Does Shopify Automatically Collect Sales Tax?

Unfortunately, no. The system can’t collect sales taxes automatically because the process has different rules. As a store owner, you must decide on your own when it is appropriate to collect sales tax. However, Shopify does calculate sales tax for purchases if you set it in settings. You may also use the Shopify Tax’s liability insights. It will show you the rules for tax collection for each US state.
