Setting Up Business License Tax Classes

Define the types of taxes that will be used to calculate taxes applicable to business licenses. You add a tax classification and associate various tax attributes on the Business License Tax Class page.

Tax classes define the tax attributes that will be applied to business licenses. Applicable taxes are calculated based on the values entered by registered users in their license application.
