Hi Manal, thank you for reaching out here in the Community.

 

You can set up additional tax rates in the Tax section to align with your specific requirements.

 

QuickBooks Online (QBO) automatically creates a default tax rate based on your location.

 

Since the default tax rate is not suitable for your specific needs, you have the option to create a new tax rate align with your preferences.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to Tax in your left navigation menu.
  2. Click the Add tax button in the top right corner of the page.

     
  3. Select the type of tax rate you want to set up.
  4. Enter the details for the tax rate.
  5. Click Save to apply the changes.

 

For more details on setting up the tax feature and adding tax within QuickBooks Online, you can refer to this helpful article: How do I set up tax rates and use them on forms? (International QBO).
