Manage Tax Regions in Liqnic Admin

In this guide, you’ll learn what tax regions are and how to manage them.

What is a Tax Region?

A Tax Region represents a geographical area where you must apply specific tax rates.
For example, if you operate in the United States and Canada, you might have different tax rates for each country, and even for different states or provinces within each country.

You can create a tax region for each country and set up sublevel tax regions for each state or province.

Each tax region has its own tax rate, and you can override the default tax rate for specific products or product types.
