MyWorks makes it as easy as possible to handle accounting for the sales tax collected in WooCommerce orders from any country where you choose to collect sales tax in WooCommerce.

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 to 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 usually a tax rate named “Tax Exempt”

Map > Tax Rates

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

Syncing tax as a line item

Alternatively, if you do not wish to use the sales tax area in Xero,  and/or have sales tax turned off in Xero, you can sync tax as a line item in the Xero order instead.

You can enable the setting to sync sales tax as a line item in MyWorks Sync > Settings > Tax, and the Sales Tax collected in the WooCommerce order will instead be passed into a line item in Xero. This item can be created in your Xero and assigned to your "Sales Tax Payable" account.
