# coreSTORE - Sales: Tax Group Setup

7. Cumulative Taxes

Cumulative tax rates calculate each tax based on the amount including the previous tax. Non-cumulative tax rates calculate each tax based only on the original amount, without including any other taxes.

In the US, typically tax rates are NOT cumulative.
