Finance Settings: Tax categories

Go to Settings > Finance > Tax categories. Staff users must be assigned a Finance: 5 module authorization level in order to have access to this navigation item.

Tax categories are general collections of items that have common taxation rules. You must define the appropriate tax categories before you can define products and functions that use tax-by-customer-location taxation logic.

Note: Tax categories are only applicable when using the VAT taxation method. Tax categories can be used to differentiate between standard rated, reduced rated, and zero rated products.
