Tax Group

Tags
    We can add custom tags to create custom reports.

Include in the analytic cost
    If we set this option, then the amount computed by this tax will assign to the same analytic account mentioned in the invoice line.

Included in price
    Set this option if this tax is included in the unit price of the product/service.

Affect base of subsequent taxes
    If you set this option, the Base amount of subsequent taxes will be the sum of the current base amount and tax amount of this tax.

Tax adjustment
    Set this option if you want this tax to be used in a tax adjustment wizard.

Let's go detail with tax computation methods

Group of taxes
    This option lets us configure the tax as a collection of many child taxes.
Odoo will make visible the table to select the child taxes when you select this option as a tax computation method.

Fixed
You can give a fixed amount as a tax
Example:
Base amount: 1000
Tax rate (value of Amount field): 10
Amount of Tax: 1010
If you set ‘included in the price’ 
Real amount: 990
Tax:  10
Amount with Tax: 1000

Percentage of price

This is the most common way of tax computation. Let’s us to mention tax as the percentage
Example:
Base amount: 1000
Tax rate (value of Amount field): 10%
Tax: 100
Amount of Tax: 1100
If you set ‘included in the price’ 
Real amount: 909.09
Tax:  90.91
Amount with Tax: 1000

Percentage of price tax included

This way of calculation is used when your tax is a percentage of the total price. This option is by default tax included on the price.
Example:
Base amount: 1000
Tax rate (value of Amount field): 10%
Tax:  100
Amount of Tax: 1000 (Tax is already included in price)

These all are the details we have to take care of when we configure a tax.

Now you can use these taxes in Product master or product category master as Customer Tax or Vendor tax. So that whenever you select this product in a Sale order/Purchase order/ invoice, Odoo will select this tax automatically for you.
