To add and manage taxes, log in to the backend of your PrestaShop store, click on the Payment tab and then on the Taxes sub-tab. There should be a table with preconfigured tax rates that were set up by PrestaShop based on the default country that you chose for your store while installing the application. To change the name or rate of any of the taxes listed in the table click on its edit icon and change the desired options.
Under the table there are some tax options from which you can enable/disable taxes for the whole store, you can set the tax to be displayed in the cart, etc. To add a new tax click on the Add new button above the table. Then just type a name and rate for the tax in the corresponding text fields, enable or disable the tax and click on the Save button.
To add and manage tax rules, click on the Payment tab of your store's admin panel and then on the Tax rules sub-tab. On the page that opens you'll see a table with preconfigured tax rules which you can edit and delete. To add a new tax rule click on the Add new button above the table. On the page that opens type a name for the tax rule and choose whether to enable or disable it.
Under these options there are tabs with different world regions/continents. Each tab displays a list of countries. If you want the tax rule to apply to the customers from any of these country, find the particular country and from the drop-down menu select a tax rate. You can choose any of the taxes that have been created from the Taxes sub-tab of the Payment tab. You can use one tax rule to apply different tax rates to different countries. When you're done click on the Save button.
