Postal TaxTables

Use postal code tax tables to identify local areas (cities, counties, etc.) that apply taxes to eCommerce catalog entries. The areas are identified by their postal code. For example, London, England taxes alcohol delivered to addresses within it.

You only need to create a postal tax table if the area that applies the tax is smaller than a country’s geographical regions (states, provinces, etc.). If an entire region applies a tax, use a regional tax table.
