# Taxes Umbraco Commerce offers two different tax calculation method configurations for calculating an order's tax amounts. ### [Fixed Tax Rates](/umbraco-commerce/reference/taxes/fixed-tax-rates.md) This option allows you to define a single fixed tax rate to apply for all products of the same type shipped to the same country. This option is useful for countries that have a fixed tax rate (the norm in EU countries). ### [Calculated Tax Rates](/umbraco-commerce/reference/taxes/calculated-tax-rates.md) This option allows you to dynamically calculate the tax obligations of an order by using third-party calculation platforms. This complex option is useful for countries with different tax rates for different product types or regions within the country (the norm in the US). --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
