Note: If you select "Other region" to the option "Where does the tax apply?" - in the next window you must choose the region where the tax applies.

- Then Click the Next button.

- At the Final Tax setup dialog, you can untick "Prices include this tax" if tax will be added on top of the shipping cost

- You can also untick "Allow customers with Sales Tax exemptions to remove sales tax from charges" if you don't want the tax exemption to be available in your shop.

 - Click the Finish button.
