2. Associate the items to the categories.

Tax Side Setup:

1. Navigate to the Manage Product-Based Fiscal Classifications page. Create a new Product Fiscal Classification Type and associate all tax regimes applicable to this product fiscal classification. Make sure to select the Catalog as Inventory Category Set.
2. Navigate to Manage Tax Determining Factor Sets. Create a new Tax Determining Factor Set and provide the tax determining factor set details as:
   1. Determining Factor Class – Product inventory linked
   2. Determining Factor Name - Select the product fiscal classification created in step 1 above.
3. Navigate to the Manage Tax Condition Sets page. Create a new Tax Condition Set for each item category that needs a different tax calculation and enter the tax condition set details.
4. Navigate to Manage Tax Rules >Tax Rule Type> Direct Tax Rate Rules. Create a new expert rule using your tax determining factors and tax conditions and enable the rule.
5. To default, the item category with the selected item when creating the transactions, navigate to the Manage Country Default Controls task and associate the catalog to the primary inventory category set for that country.
