MyWorks makes it as easy as possible to handle accounting for the sales tax collected in WooCommerce orders from Australia and New Zealand. We'll automatically sync the tax charged on the order into Xero as we sync the order. All that's needed is to map your VAT tax rate(s) in WooCommerce to their corresponding tax rates in Xero.

Setting up sales tax

MyWorks allows you to easily map your WooCommerce sales tax rates to the sales tax rates present in your Xero company. There are two areas in MyWorks where you can manage this. 

Settings > Tax

In MyWorks Sync > Settings > Tax, you can set your Xero tax rate that should be applied to items that are not taxed in your WooCommerce orders. This is normally a tax rate named “Out of Scope”, or “Exempt”.

Map > Tax Rates

In MyWorks Sync > Map > Tax Rates, you can view your WooCommerce tax rates and select the matching Xero rate for each.  

• The 10% GST rate for Australia can be mapped to its corresponding 10% rate in Xero, typically named “10% GST”. 
• Similarly, with New Zealand, simply select the matching GST rate in Xero.
