  2. Go to System > Localisation > Taxes > Tax Classes
  3. Click on “Edit” for the tax class you want to apply the tax rate to
  4. opencart_add_tax_rate_to_class_1

  6. opencart_add_tax_rate_to_class_2

  7. Click “Save” in the upper right corner
  8. Now, if one of your visitors purchases a product that is assigned to that specific tax class and the address they enter matches the Geo Zone assigned to the Tax Rate, the tax will be applied to the product.
