Cart Tax Rate

{exp:cartthrob:cart_tax_rate} outputs the current cart tax rate value.

This is an immediate-execution single tag, not a form tag.

See also:

Parameters

This tag has no tag-specific parameters.

Output

Outputs the current tax rate from store->tax_rate().

The output is the rate value (for example 0.07 for 7%).

Behavior and Constraints

  1. Reads the active store tax rate through ee()->cartthrob->store->tax_rate().
  2. Returns that value directly.
  3. Does not render form markup and does not change cart state.

Notes:

  • This tag returns the tax rate, not the tax amount.
    Use cart_tax for the cart tax total amount.

Examples

Basic usage:

{exp:cartthrob:cart_tax_rate}

Show percentage text from the rate value:

Tax rate: {exp:cartthrob:cart_tax_rate}%
