Adrian, Not only do you need a tax authority (set up in accounting), and a product category for products that are taxable, but you need to connect the two as well.
See this example: http://demo-stable-ofbiz.apache.org/accounting/control/EditTaxAuthorityCategories?taxAuthPartyId=UT_UTAH_TAXMAN&taxAuthGeoId=UT-UTAH Also, you'll need to set the percentage, see this example: http://demo-stable-ofbiz.apache.org/accounting/control/EditTaxAuthorityRateProducts?taxAuthPartyId=UT_UTAH_TAXMAN&taxAuthGeoId=UT-UTAH I trust that helps.
