NOTE:
If there is shipping on a PO with multiple rows, it prorates the shipping
amount based on each row’s percent of he total.
If part of the PO is taxable, the Shipping that applies to the taxed portion
of the PO is also taxable.
Example: Two (2) rows on the PO, 1 @ $600 with 10% tax, 1 @ $400 with no tax.
§ Without shipping, calculated tax is $60, total PO is $1060.
§ Add shipping of $100. Calculated tax increases to $66 because 60% of the shipping is allocated to the taxable item.
