Many thanks in advance Torsten")* Hi, Yes, you can click on the "manage tax rates" button to get to the listing of rates and edit the rate and change its percentage. Or you can create a new rate instead, and duplicate your tax rule in the System>Taxes listing and use the start/end date options of each rule so that the tax rate will automatically switch at midnight on the 1st without you doing anything.

Many thanks in advance Torsten")* Almost. Two things: - You want an ending date for the second tax rule so that it swaps from one to the other. - You used the word "German reduced". Note that this text will appear on the checkout, invoice, emails, etc. So I suspect you want something like "MwSt. reduced" (and probably translate reduced in German) Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzI5LXBheW1lbnQtbWV0aG9kcy85MDAzMDAtbmV3LXRheC1yYXRlLWluLWdlcm1hbnk/dG1wbD1tYXJrZG93bg==) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[CorneliaML](/forum/user/55054-corneliaml "View CorneliaML's Profile")** - [![CorneliaML's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/core/svg/person.svg)](/forum/user/55054-corneliaml "View CorneliaML's Profile") Topic Author - [ Offline](/forum/user/55054-corneliaml) Less More - Posts: 49 - Thank you received: 2 - - 6 years 4 months ago [\#321488](#321488) by [CorneliaML](/forum/user/55054-corneliaml "View CorneliaML's Profile") Replied by *[CorneliaML](/forum/user/55054-corneliaml "View CorneliaML's Profile")* on topic *[New tax rate in Germany](/forum/29-payment-methods/900300-new-tax-rate-in-germany#321488 "-- HikaShop version -- : 4.3.0 -- Joomla version -- : 3.9.19 -- PHP version -- : 7.4.7 Hi all, from the 1.st of July, the tax rate in Germany will be changed to 16% (currently: 19%) How can I change the tax rate in Hikashop?
