Configuring different tax rules based on product type.

[mikepa]

Can I set different tax rules depending on the product category? My client is selling various types of products, most have 21% taxes, but books have 4% in my country so I would need a way to tell prestashop to apply different taxes to different categories. 

 

I haven't been able to find a solution to this, seems that prestashop is not prepared for this, which seems weird, I doubt mine is the only e-commerce out there that sells products with different tax rules.

 

Thanks in advance

Tax is set for every product. There is no need to set it on the category level.

Hello,

 

Te tax rule is selected for each product in the Price tab where you decide which tax rule applies. Are the products added manually or imported? In case of an import, if you're using the CSV import functionality you have the option of adding different tax rule IDs for each product.

Thanks for the info. It would be very useful to be able to set the tax rule for category, because all the items in some categories have the same tax rule, but since they are using CSV import, I can automate it that way.
