# How to add Tax groups?

## This article explains how to create, edit, and manage Tax Groups in the Control Panel and link them to the appropriate Input and Output ledgers.

### 📍 Navigation Path

**Control Panel → Finance → Tax Groups**

### 🧾 Tax Groups

You may create tax groups depending on the region of the clinic. UAE has three standard tax groups:

- **Zero**
- **Exempt**
- A **country-specific rate** (for example, 5% VAT), if applicable

These defaults must still be linked to the correct ledgers.

### ➕ Adding a New Tax Group

1. Click **+ Add**
2. Enter:
   
     - **Code**
     - **Description**
     - **Tax percentage (%)**
3. Select:
   
     - **Output Account** (ledger)
     - **Input Account** (ledger)  
       *(Both ledgers must already exist in the Chart of Accounts)*
4. Click **Submit**

### ✏️ Editing an Existing Tax Group
