Tax Setup

For item level mode, you have to enable Taxation - Default Zone based Taxation(tjtaxation) plugins and disable the Taxation to Quick2Cart(qtctax) plugins

Create the Different Tax Rates

Depending on where you are , you might be liable to pay a variety of taxes. VAT, Service Tax, LBT, Sales tax etc are all examples of tax rates and they are a function of the Zone. You need to define all the applicable tax rates for each store for each zone that you ship to. VAT(Value Added Tax), LBT(Local Body Tax), Service tax etc are all examples of Tax rates and these will vary from region to region. 

Setting up the Tax Rates is the first step you need to take to configure taxation. Setting up the Tax rate involves giving the Tax a Name, Defining the rate as a percentage & deciding which Zone it applies to.  

To create tax rate, you should setup zone first. Multiple tax rates can be defined and assigned to different zones.

Tax Profile

Depending on what kind of product you sell, your product might attract multiple taxes. Tax Profiles make this easy to manage by allowing you to club tax rates together. Some taxes are based on the Billing Address while some might be based on the Shipping address. For instance in Pune (India), Soft drinks like Coke attract VAT. In case you are shipping to Pune from outside Pune, then they attract an additional Local Body Tax (LBT). 

You can manage all these configurations easily by creating a Tax profile. In Tax Profile you need to give the Profile a name that's easy for your to associate with. Le'ts say 'Non Alcoholic Beverages' and again define which Zone it applies to. Once you have saved the profile, you can add multiple tax rates against the profile and also define which address each of the tax rate is based on. This completes the initial taxation setup. 

To create tax profile, you should set-up tax rates first.
