You can create a tax profile for each region or area where your business operates. This allows you to customize tax settings based on local regulations and requirements. By creating distinct tax profiles, you can ensure that the correct tax rates and types are applied to the appropriate listings. Once created, these tax profiles can be easily assigned to specific listings, streamlining your tax management process and ensuring compliance with regional tax laws. This flexibility helps you manage your business more efficiently and reduces the risk of tax errors.
