Tax classes
A tax class is a named rate — standard, reduced, zero. Products and orders reference the class by code; the market resolves the concrete percentage, so the same product taxes at 19 % in Germany and at the French rate in France.
Where you find it
Commerce Studio › Configuration › Tax classes —
/commerce/configuration?tab=tax-classes.
What it does
The rows are grouped by market, each group under its flag — Germany with standard 19 % and reduced 7 %, the other markets with their own sets. One class per market carries the default marker.
Fields and controls
| Column | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Code | The class code, for example standard or reduced. |
| Name | The display name. |
| Market | The market the rate belongs to. |
| Rate % | The percentage. |
| Default | The market's default class. |
Action: New tax class.
What happens when you change it
A changed rate changes the tax on the next priced order in that market — orders already placed keep their snapshot. A product referencing a class code that a new market does not define has no rate there, so give every market the codes your catalogue uses.
