Best Practices for Implementing ACWHD

   2. Check the box labeled Is TVWAHD?
2. Modify the Custom Tax Field
   1. Once the checkbox is selected, the system will auto-populate "TVWAHD" in the Custom Tax Field
   2. Replace "TVWAHD" with ACWHD
3. Set the Tax Percentage
   1. Navigate to Store > State Profile > California
   2. Locate the Custom Tax Field and enter the applicable percentage (1%)
4. Result:
   1. A separate line item for ACWHD will be added to all orders shipped or picked up within California.
   2. Sales tax will be collected on both the subtotal and the ACWHD fee.
   3. The collected tax will be displayed in the Order Detail Report for reporting purposes.

Final Step: Notify Support to Enable Reporting

After completing the setup for the Amador County Wine Heritage Assessment (ACWHD), you’ll need to contact the WineDirect support team to ensure the fee information appears correctly inthe Order Detail Report for reporting purposes.

Why is notifying support necessary?

The system requires a quick update from our development team to display the custom tax fields in the Order Detail Report. Without this step, the tax will be charged to customers but may not show up properly inthe Order Detail Report for reporting purposes.

How to Notify Support

• Send an email to support@winedirect.com or submit a support ticket through the Admin Panel Support bubble.
• Include the subject line: "Enable Custom Tax Reporting for ACWHD"
• In the message, mention that you’ve set up a custom tax and need it activated for reporting.

Once the support team completes this update, the ACWHD tax will be included in your Order Detail Report for tracking and compliance.

Reporting & Compliance

The Order Detail Report will include the custom tax amounts for proper reporting.

Ensuring that:

• The collected ACWHD fees are reported to the necessary regulatory entity
• The correct percentage is applied based on current tax regulations
