Our store is a food hub that helps local farms sell their products to our local government employees and local restaurants.   We have 3 pickup locations.  We do not ship anything.    Shopify is collecting tax based on the users ship to / bill to address and it's wrong.  We need to ONLY collect taxes based on the rates for our main distribution location.    How can we configure this?

Note - we can't use the multi location method because that requires you to put inventory at each location.  We only have inventory at our main location and then a user can select one of 3 pickup locations during checkout.

So, do you want to shopify to collect taxes based  on your main location, you can adjust the settings as follows:

  1. Set a Default Tax Location:
    Go to Settings > Taxes and Duties in Shopify, and ensure your main distribution location is the primary tax nexus. This will make taxes calculate based on that location.

  2. Disable Shipping Tax Calculation:
    Disable all shipping tax calculation's and ensure that no tax calculations are linked to customers' shipping or billing addresses.

  3. Override Tax Rates:
    Use the Tax Overrides feature in Taxes and Duties to apply location-specific tax rules based solely on your main hub.
