Overview

Tax rules may be applied to all options in any option group. This would only be necessary if a Web site owner has a tax situation where a different tax rate applies only when items are used in a package, and the tax rule applies to all products/items used in this group.

Customers will see an itemized list of any taxes at checkout.
