Adding Tax Rates

Different states/provinces and countries/regions charge different amounts for sales tax, and some do not charge tax at all. Use the Tax Rates module to add tax rates for different countries/regions and states/provinces.

Note

• Country/region and state/province codes must be set up before you can add tax rates. For more information about adding country/region and state/province codes, see Adding Country Codes and Adding State/Province Codes.
