1. Sign into your Google merchant account at https://www.google.com/merchants.
2. On the left navigation area of the page, click on Settings.
3. Click on Tax and shipping - there are several settings you can choose from.
4. Choose the settings you prefer that apply for both (you will see a couple of options).
