Adapt Taxes To Your Customer Address (Destination-Based)

Depending on localization, sales taxes can be of two types, origin based or destination based. Most states or countries want the seller to collect taxes based on the destination or the location of the buyer. At the same time, some others require to collect tax based on the tax rate at the seller’s office.

If you want to depend on the destination-based rule, create one fiscal position per tax-mapping to apply.
