# Configure Tax exempt setting on Cart

**Tax Exempt Setup on Cart** helps you configure how the tax ID is validated in the cart. 

There are 3 options for this setting, you can **tick all** or **tick on specific feature(s)** you want to apply only. 

* **Required Tax ID Field on Cart:** When enabled, customers must enter **a valid Tax ID** in the cart before proceeding to checkout.

***If you don't tick on this setting in the app**, the Tax ID field will not be validated, and **any input will be accepted**, allowing customers to continue to checkout without verification.*&#x20;

* **Auto Tax Exempt:** As long as the tax ID is valid, order will auto-get tax exempted.&#x20;

This function does two things: **Auto-add VAT ID to the Order note** section of in the Order and **Auto-exempt tax for orders** that have **valid tax IDs**

If you enable the **Require Tax ID Field on Cart** setting without also enabling the **Auto Tax Exempt** setting, the app will only require customers to enter a valid VAT ID before checkout, but it will **not** automatically exempt the order from tax.&#x20;

* **Auto Redirect to Checkout:** Even if the tax ID is invalid, customers can still be able to checkout by **clicking on the checkout button twice**.&#x20;

On the other hand, if the Tax ID is valid, customer will be able to checkout immediately.&#x20;

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.samita.io/samita-wholesale-b2b/~/revisions/t86s1xVv9jUAPdJmeEIc/tax-exempt/configure-tax-exempt-setting-on-cart.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
