# Taxes
## Setup - Basic Company Data
When you select the **Region**, the **default Taxes** used in that Region/Country are generated automatically.
You can create a **new Tax** by clicking on the 
button, or Edit the Tax you have selected by double tapping on it.
Here you can enter the data for the new tax:
* ***Code:*** By default, the system generates a sequential code, which can be changed as long as it is unique.
* ***Name:*** Here you must enter the name of the Tax.
* ***Type:*** There are different types of Taxes, you must choose the appropriate one:
* ***Normal:*** This is the standard type. Taxes will be calculated as a **percentage of the item sale**.
* ***Amount per Quantity:*** This is a special type of Tax that is calculated according to the **Unit of Measurement** defined on the item and on the **quantity sold**. It may be used in some countries for taxes on alcohol.
* ***Fix Amount:*** This tax will charge a **fixed amount** when the item is sold. For example, it can be used to charge tourist tax.
* ***Group:*** When an item is affected by more than one tax, we should create all those taxes separately and put them together in a **Tax group**. For example, it can be used for items that must charge both a state and a local tax at the same time.
In each tax group, you can add up to 10 different taxes that can be charged to the items you assign.
##
Here are some examples of taxes. We have added two new taxes to the default one for the region.
##
You have a facility to change all items assigned to one Tax, to a different Tax, in a single procedure. This process saves a lot of time when taxes are altered by law. Select the original Tax and tap the 
button.
Now select the new tax in the field **To Tax**. This will change **all records containing the original tax to the new one**.
