Tax Rates
There are 16 pre-existing tax rates in the system. These should cover all the tax rates you need to operate in the UK. If you are operating overseas then you can add your own tax rates and delete those that don’t apply.

Edit Tax Rates
To add a new Tax Rate, click the Add New button in the top right-hand corner of the screen.
