In OFBiz tax authorities are used to calculate where business or related taxes are due.

Tax setup is very important as it links into the calculated price that you can charge your customers and also flows through into any related legal documents that are generated (eg Sales Order, Sales Invoice, Purchase Order etc).

Each country or region will have specific rules regarding what should or should not be taxed. There will also be very strict regulations on how taxable transaction should be recorded and tracked in the general ledger or chart of accounts.
