# Manage Taxes
|
||
|
||
In this document, you’ll learn how to view and manage taxes in your Medusa Admin.
|
||
|
||
## View Taxes
|
||
|
||
To view taxes:
|
||
|
||
1. Click on Settings in the sidebar.
|
||
2. Choose Tax Settings from the list of settings.
|
||
|
||
This opens the Taxes page where you can find a list of regions. This is because every time you create a region, a default tax rate is associated with that region.
|
||

|
||
To edit a region’s taxes:
|
||
|
||
1. Go to Settings → Taxes.
|
||
2. Click on the region you want to edit the taxes for in the Regions section.

||
### Change Tax Provider
|
||
|
||
The tax provider that you choose defines how taxes are calculated for products and shipping options on checkout. Medusa provides a default tax provider with the name “System Tax Provider”.
|
||
|
||
If you have integrated a custom tax provider and want to use it to calculate taxes in a region:
|
||
|
||
1. Select a region whose taxes you want to edit.
|
||
2. Change the selected tax provider in the Tax Provider field.
|
||
3. Click Save at the bottom right.
|
||
|
||
### Disable Automatic Taxes Calculation
|
||
|
||
By default, taxes are calculated automatically by Medusa. They’re calculated in different places during checkout, such as when a shipping method is chosen or when a new product is added to the cart.
|
||
|
||
If you use a third-party tax provider and you want to avoid sending too many requests to the tax provider, you can disable this behavior.
|
||
|
||
:::caution
|
||
|
||
If you switch off automatic taxes calculation, the taxes must be calculated manually on checkout. If you’re unsure how that works, please contact your technical team.
|
||
|
||
:::
|
||
|
||
To disable automatic taxes calculation:
|
||
|
||
1. Select a region whose tax you want to edit.
|
||
2. Check off the “Calculate taxes automatically” input.
|
||
3. Click Save at the bottom right.
|
||
|
||
### Disable Taxes for Gift Cards
|
||
|
||
To disable applying taxes for Gift Cards:
|
||
|
||
1. Select a region whose tax you want to edit.
|
||
2. Check off the “Apply tax to gift cards” input.
|
||
3. Click Save at the bottom right.
|
||
|
||
Enabling taxes for Gift Cards follows the same process, except you check the input.
