_By Brandon Munn · May 19, 2025_

To create regional taxes you must first enable the option, to do this go to **Administration** → **System Setup** → and **enable Tax Regions**.

Now go to **Administration** → **Settings** → **Other** → **Regional Taxes** → **Create Regional Tax.**

Fill out the following fields:

**Name** \- The name you wish this regional tax code to use (this will populate on the outlet where necessary).   
**Code** \- The code that you want this regional tax to be associated with for posting to accounts.   
**Tax Rate** \- The tax rate that needs to be applied.   
**Address Keywords** \- The word that BrewMan should use to identify if this regional tax should be applied.  
**Address Fields** \- The address field in BrewMan that the keyword should be found in to allocate this regional tax amount.   
**Default Sales GL Code** \- The sales GL code used for posting to accounts.  
**Tax Code** \- The tax code used for posting to accounts. 

This information is then used via the outlet address to populate the correct additional tax needed.

If you want to manually assign these region taxes, click **edit** on the settings tab of the outlet and toggle the “use default regional taxes” field to **no**.

When creating orders you will now see an additional tax field for the regional taxes you have set up. 

If there are no items in this order that would incur tax then this additional field will not show, instead it will only populate once this field contains $0.01 or more.
