Configure tax codes for Zuora Tax

A tax code is used to identify which tax rules and rates to apply to a specific charge.

Tax codes

There is a one-to-many relationship between tax codes and products. For example, a tax code can be “Apparel,” and that can map to hundreds of product SKUs for various clothing in various sizes and colors.

For many companies, a single tax code, such as “Internet Service,” is applicable to all products. Zuora Billing has the ability to store multiple Tax Codes in the system.

Create tax codes

See Add a Tax Code for Zuora Tax for instructions. Once you have successfully imported a tax rate file, the tax code will be activated automatically.
