Tax rules calculate and collect sales taxes based on the customer's location or shipping address.
The Search Tax Rules page displays a list of all tax rules currently available in your store and includes a search tool and sorting filters. By default, the tax rules are displayed in order by the system ID (SID) number. A different mode of sorting is available by clicking the up and down arrows in the heading of each column.
