Every product must have a tax or VAT (Value Added Tax) rate assigned. If you are not using tax rates, add a default tax rate with default value of 0%.
Tax or VAT rates are set according to your country laws. If you are not informed about tax rates in your country, we strongly advise you to consult your accountant.
To access tax rates, open management and select tax rates from the left menu.
