Before using sales tax in your transactions, you need to create a new tax. For example, the State sales tax rate of Utah is 4.7%.

*   Click the **gear icon** on the top right and select **Taxes**.
*   Now click the **\+ New Tax** button in the taxes page.

*   Enter the required tax details and click the **Save** button.

> Tax Authority can be created here in the New Tax form _and_ by choosing **New Tax Authority** from the **\+ New Tax** drop down as well.
