International Tax Rates & Sets
![](../../resources/images/shoptype/demoshop.png)
Align your business with international tax standards by defining tax rates and sets. Determine country-based tax rates for products, options and shipments, that will automatically be applied to the respective shops.
In a tax system, the tax rate is the ratio (usually expressed as a percentage) at which a business, person, items are taxed.
Tax set is a set of tax rates that can be applied to a specific product.
Keeping that in mind, the tax rate is created first.
Once the rate is defined, you can attach it to a tax set(s). A tax set can contain from one to many tax rates.
The described values are defined in the Back Office > Taxes section.
