A few sample taxes rules are already in place, which depend depends on the country you chose for your shop during the installation of PrestaShop. The tax rules are set for each tax: the rules actually serve as a kind of country filter, limiting the use of that tax to a specific set of countries.
...
- Country. The target country for the rule you are creating.
- State. Some countries have federal states registered in PrestaShop (see the "States" page, under the "Localization" menu). In that case, you can make the tax even more specific, or choose to have it applied to the whole country. You can select more than one state by pressing the Ctrl key when clicking on state names.
- Zip/postal code range. Whether the country has registered states or not, you can further specify the tax application using the customer's zip code. This field enables you to define zip codes in which the tax should be applied: either enter a single zip code , or define a range using the dash. For instance, use "75000-75012" to create a range for all zip codes between these two.
- Behavior. Some customers might have an address that matches more than one of your tax rules. In that case, you can choose how this tax rule should behave:
- This Tax Only. Will apply only this tax, not any of the other matching taxes.
- Combine. Combine taxes. For instance: 100€ + (10% + 5% => 15%) => 115€.
- One After Another. Apply taxes one after another. For instance: 100€ + 10% => 110€ + 5% => 115.5€.
- Tax. The tax to be used for this tax rule. That tax must already be registered in PrestaShop. If not: choose "No tax", disable the tax rule, save it, go create a tax in on the "Taxes" page, then come back to edit the tax rule.
- Description. You may add a short text as a reminder of why this tax rule exists for this country.
- Country. The target country for the rule you are creating.
- Click on "Save and stay". The country is added to the table below, and you can start adding another country to this tax rule group by clicking "Add a new tax rule".
