You may create and charge for as many taxes as you need to in order to comply with the law as it applies in your locale. CRE Loaded's osCommerce based tax system depends upon 5 things. Basic geographical Country definitions which define countries and states geographically, Zone definitions which define relationships between political areas, Tax Zone definitions which define the area legally affected by a tax, Tax CLASS definitions which define classes of goods which may be taxed in different ways, and Tax RATES which define the tax itself.

To charge a new tax, you must assure that all 5 of these factors are addressed. The tools needed to configure the tax system are found in Admin / Locations and Taxes. Countries are predefined for you according to international standards. Regions must be defined by you - using the Zone system.  Then you must create Tax Classes, and assign them to each product to which they apply.
