  3. Set Tax Calculation Type: Choose Tax Inclusive (retail price includes tax) or Tax Exclusive (tax added at checkout).
  4. Create Compound Tax Groups: Combine multiple local taxes (e.g. 10% Central GST + 5% Provincial Tax = 15% Group).
  5. Assign Default Tax: Set standard rate as default for newly created products in catalog.
  6. Generate VAT Audit Reports: Download filing-ready VAT reports under Reports → VAT Reports.
