Step 1 Install & Activate GF eCommerce Fields
Let’s get started by installing and activating the GF eCommerce Fields plugin.
Step 2 Add a Tax Field to Your Form
Multiple Tax FieldsYou can add as many Tax fields as you require. You can have all Tax fields apply to each order – or – you can use conditional logic to apply a specific Tax field dependent on any number of conditions.
Step 3 Configure the Tax Amount
It’s time to specify the tax amount. Specify any number 1 – 100. This will be the percentage used to calculate the tax amount.
Apply To or Exclude From Specific ProductsYou can optionally apply the tax to specific products – or – exclude specific products from being included in the tax. Just select the desired option from the “Applicable Products” setting and specify the products to include/exclude.
Preview the Form
And we’re done! Preview your form to see your Tax field in action. Here’s an example from our full documentation for GF eCommerce Fields.

I tried doing this calculation and got it to work but my notification email summary is totally incorrect. Will your solution help me get this sub total, tax order total correct for the form and the notification? (I am using the auto-format feature in GF as my html sucks)

April 3, 2018 at 3:37 pmI am having an issue where this plugin is calculating a tax higher than it should be. For example, I have a 339.00 product. The tax on it is 13%. The amount should be 43.07; however, the plugin calculates it as 44.22
