Current Total Tax Set

Current Total Tax Set

What is Current Total Tax Set?

The Current Total Tax Set measure represents the sum of taxes applied to all orders in their current state. This includes all tax components associated with the orders, reflecting the total tax value in the selected currency mode (either shop currency or presentment currency). This measure is dynamically calculated based on the latest order updates.


Practical Example of Current Total Tax Set

A merchant has the following three orders:

  1. Order 1: Total price = $100, Tax = $10
  2. Order 2: Total price = $200, Tax = $20
  3. Order 3: Total price = $150, Tax = $15

The Current Total Tax Set = $10 + $20 + $15 = $45.

This measure ensures merchants are aware of the total tax component of their sales, which is essential for financial analysis and compliance.
