# Sales Tax

If you live in a state where Sales Tax is collected, BDP connects with [Stripe](https://stripe.com/) to simplify the process and capture the appropriate tax. Refer to Stripe's documentation to "Set up Stripe Tax" within your account:

{% embed url="<https://stripe.com/docs/tax/set-up>" fullWidth="false" %}

&#x20;Once you have Set Up Stripe Tax, switch on **Enable Sales Tax** within BDP

* *\*\*FYI - a small test transaction will be sent & cancelled in order to test back-end sales tax functionality when enabling*
* Once Sales Tax is enabled, you'll select your **Default Material Tax Category** and determine whether you need to distinguish between material and **Separate Delivery Tax**
* Once Sales Tax is enabled, refer to your [Products](/products/products.md) inventory where a field for **Sales Tax Code** will now be exposed. This gives you the option to attach a specific Sales Tax Code to each Product, including coding items as *Nontaxable* where appropriate.&#x20;
* Watch as Sales Tax is collected effortlessly, appearing as a separate line item for the customer at checkout

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.bulkdelivery.pro/settings/payment-tax-and-disclaimers/sales-tax.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
