Navigate to: System Settings > Taxes
The Taxes section allows Administrators to add and manage Tax Classes. Tax Classes are used to group products with one or more Tax Rules. Multiple products can be associated with a Tax Class.
Natively Znode supports a simple “Sales Tax” engine, external tax processor plugins, and the ability to develop a custom tax processor plugin.
The native Znode “Sales Tax” tax rule type can be used to set up and configure sales taxes for all countries, each with potentially different tax rates. Additionally, different tax classes that use different rules based on things like product types and categories can be created.
Example: You serve many customers in Japan and need to account for their consumption tax. You can create your own tax provider, named something like "JapanConsumptionTax", which performs the necessary calculations for all your Japanese customers.
