What are the tax classes?

Tax classes are used to assign special tax rates to groups of products. Tax classes are different for their rates and calculation rules.
The tax classes of your store depend on the type of products you are selling. You can create a tax class, and add specific rate and geo zone for calculations for each created class.
Note: it's better to create geo zones beforehand. You can save tax class and create geo zone later, but when you add tax rate for that created tax class, you have option only to choose from the created geo zones. While you can save the tax class and create geo zone later, for the better flow, create beforehand.
You can add tax rate, edit, or delete a tax class by clicking on the three dots ··· icon:

Create tax classes

Click on the "Create tax class" button:
Here, you need to write specific title (only you can see this) and calculation method. Tax class title will be displayed when taxes are added to the total order:
