Shop Manager DOES NOT have a specific way of calculating or applying CAT.
CAT was created as a tax on the business and was not intended to directly tax the consumer. Businesses can indirectly pass the cost of the tax onto the consumer through increased prices of goods and services offered. For more information about CAT, who it affects, how it is applied, etc., please view the following CAT information page available from the state of Oregon https://www.oregon.gov/dor/programs/businesses/pages/corporate-activity-tax.aspx
