About Tax Settings
Your Tax Settings are incredibly important to complete before as soon as possible. Each category has a tax category assigned to it that determines the tax rate for the items in that category. There is also the option to mark a category as tax exempt.
Tax Categories
Tax categories are used to store the tax percentage that should be applied to your items. If you're in an area where you'll have different tax rates for different types of items you'll need a tax category per rate that will be applied.
For example, if all items will have the same tax rate then your tax settings might look like this:

When you delete a tax category be sure to update your categories as well to ensure your items are properly taxed.
