Manage Tax Jurisdictions in the Back-Office 

Hint

This section is part of the Tax Management concept guide that provides a general understanding of the tax configuration and management in OroCommerce.

Tax Jurisdiction is a geographical address of the area that is governed by the same tax laws and regulations, and that requires a dedicated set of tax calculation rules in OroCommerce: the tax rates for taxable/tax-exempt types of customers and products.

The sections below provide guidance on managing tax jurisdictions and assigning dedicated tax rules for these tax jurisdictions.
