Time for action—adding Germany as a Geo Zone for taxes
In this section, we will add Germany as a Geo Zone for our store to be used in tax calculations. We will include all regions under Germany.
Let's log in to the administration panel and click on the System|Localisation|Geo Zones menu item, as shown in the following screenshot. The administration panel is available at http://yourwebsite.com/store/admin.
The page will list the Geo Zone names that were added upon installation. Let's click on the Insert button.
Let's write Germany Tax Zone for the Geo Zone Name field. Next, let's write Germany Sales Tax Zone for the Description field. Then, we will click on the Add Geo Zone button.
We will select Germany and All Zones under it. Then, we click on the Save button to finish adding Germany as a Geo Tax Zone.
What just happened?
We have just finished adding Germany as a Geo Zone for taxes.
Tip
We could select only a few regions from Germany if needed. Additionally, if we want to edit any Country and / or Zone definition in Geo Zones, we should visit System | Localisation | Zones menu in the administration panel.
Have a go hero—adding Rome, Milano / Italy as Geo Zone for taxes
Suppose that we only ship shoes to Rome and Milano in Italy and need to apply taxes for these regions. Define a new Geo Zone for these regions.
