In this document, you’ll get an overview of taxes in Medusa and learn about their importance.
|
||
|
||
## Overview
|
||
|
||
Taxes in Medusas are directly associated with [Regions](../regions/page.mdx). As regions and countries often have different tax rates and rules, Medusa supports specifying the tax rate for each region.
|
||
|
||
Taxes are calculated for products and shipping methods on checkout. Medusa provides a default tax provider to calculate the taxes, and merchants and developers can also integrate custom tax providers for advanced taxes calculation.

## How are Taxes Created?
|
||
|
||
When you create a region, its taxes settings are created as well.
|
||
|
||
If you specify the tax rate during the region's creation, a default tax rate is created that's applied on all products and shipping options.

## Override Tax Rates
|
||
|
||
You can create tax rates to override the default tax rate. Tax rates can be condition to products, product types, and shipping options.
