I usually let me client know that I am strictly a designer. I can Intergrate/set up their WooCommerce store, set up some or even all of their products, and show them how to use WooCommerce and about the settings.
But anything regarding calculating taxes based off of their location or the types of product that they are selling is strictly their responsibility since its their business and I am not a financial advisor or a tax expert.
Is this resonable?

Your clients should consult a tax professional to understand their tax responsibility. You can help them implement a solution to achieve the correct sales tax collection at checkout. Ultimately it’s the business’s responsibility to pay those taxes and not yours. Consider consulting a lawyer to ensure your client contracts cover your ass in this regard.
That’s one of the golden rules, save yourself from any legal liability. “I’m not a lawyer so I can’t give you legal advice, I recommend reaching out to a tax lawyer that can assist you with figuring out your legal obligations”. That’s for everything, if they ask about cookie popups, gdpr, ccpa, even accessibility! Yeah I’ll tell them if their fonts or contrast don’t meet WCAG, but it’s always prefaced with a disclaimer. They wonder about a privacy policy? Lawyer. They wonder about handling users private data? Lawyer.
Way too many cases where people get sued, and they’re ALWAYS looking for someone else to lay the blame on. Don’t ever take the risk. Gotta be very vigilant about that in this line of work.
