Creating tax jurisdictions

Use Management Center Tools to create new tax jurisdictions. You can create unlimited number of tax jurisdictions.

Note: You can use the Tax Jurisdictions to create an unlimited number of tax jurisdictions; however, if you use more than 50 jurisdictions, you might find that the tax rates table, which is displayed on the Rates page, takes a long time to display.
