All products that are sold will have either no tax or a certain amount of tax assigned to them. Tax rates can be assigned to a product to keep track of this, and is also viewable when running your reports. This guide will cover how to create / set a tax rate, and also how to link it to a product.

From left to right there is the following:

**Id:** This is the identifier of the Tax Rate, this cannot be edited

**Description:**This is the Tax Rate's description, this will want to be named something relevant to what this tax rate is i.e.: No VAT, 20% VAT, etc.

**Rate:**This is the tax rate percentage, which can be set between 0 to 100.

**Type:**This is the type of Tax Rate to use, with the options being **Extract**and **Add-On**. If the Tax Rate is set to **Extract**, the VAT rate will be calculated as part of the product price i.e.: If the sale is £1, and the Tax Rate is 20%, the Net Amount would be £0.83 (not including VAT) and the calculated VAT would be £0.17. If however, the Tax Rate is set to **Add-On**, this tax rate will be calculated on top of the product price i.e.: If this sale is £1 and the Tax Rate is 20%, the Net Amount would be £1 (excluding VAT) and the Add-On tax would be 20p, thus making the Gross Amount £1.20.

Once you have entered in the required Tax Rates, click **Save**at the top-right of the page.
