How to Add a Tax Rate in Xero

Updated on:
April 6, 2026

Madhav Bhandari
Use this interactive demo to learn how to add a tax rate to your Xero account.

‍

‍

It is very easy to add a tax rate in Xero. Here’s a quick tutorial on how to do it in simple steps:

‍

  1. On Xero's main dashboard, go to the top menu bar and click 'Accounting'.
  2. Choose 'Advanced' from the list of options.
  3. After that, tap 'Tax Rates' to proceed.
  4. Click 'New Tax Rate'.
  5. Following that, come up with a unique Tax Rate Display Name and enter it into the provided input field.
  6. Provide the Tax Components of the new tax rate you're about to create. Indicate the description, along with its corresponding percentage. Enter the details into their respective input fields.
  7. If you wish to include more components, simply click the 'Add a Component' button.
  8. Once done, review your input and click 'Save'.
  9. After completing these steps, the new tax rate will be added to your Xero account.

📌 Why this matters

Setting up custom tax rates lets you handle complex transactions that don't fit standard tax categories, like mixed-rate services or location-specific taxes. Beyond basic compliance, this capability becomes crucial when your business spans multiple jurisdictions or offers bundled products with different tax treatments.

You can create precise tax calculations for scenarios like digital services sold internationally or construction projects with varying material and labor rates, ensuring your financial reporting reflects the true tax burden rather than approximations.
