This tutorial will show you how to manage taxes in OpenCart store.

First of all, you’d turn on the ‘display prices with tax’ option in your store:

Admin -> System -> Settings -> Store -> Option Tab: Display Prices With Tax: Yes (or No)

Create a Geo-zone:

Admin -> System -> Localisation: Geo Zones:
Name: Tax Your Country
Country: Your Country
Zones: All zones (Or select any zone your need)

IF you need Tax for different zones in your country the Geo-zone name and setup should reflect that zone!

Create a Tax-rate:

Admin -> System -> Localisation -> Taxes: Tax Rates:
Name: Tax 19%
Rate: 19%
Type: Percentage (or fixed amount)
Customer Group: Default
Geo-zone: Tax Your Country

IF you need Tax-rates for different zones in your country the Tax-rate name and setup should reflect that zone!

Create a Tax-class:

Admin -> System -> Localization -> Taxes: Tax Classes:
Name: Tax 19%
Rate: 19%
Based on: Shipping Address
Priority: 1

IF you need Tax-classes for different zones in your country the Tax-class name and setup should reflect that zone!

Create all the Tax-classes and Tax-rates you need for your country. If needed do the above for ALL country’s you ship to.

Now that you have set up the correct Geo-zones, Tax-rates and Tax-classes you only need to set the correct Tax-settings per store:

Admin -> System -> Settings -> Store -> Option Tab:

Use Store Tax Address:: Shipping address

Use Customer Tax Address: Shipping address
