Product Taxes

You can set product taxes at three levels - at the global level (system defaults), at the product group level (product groups), and at the individual product level. All products will initially have system tax settings automatically applied. Product Groups represent groups of product types. Each product is assigned to a product group, which initially adopts the system default tax settings. By configuring product groups you can override the system default taxes for groups of objects in bulk. You can also override the default taxes for individual products.
