HikaShop will only take into account the tax rules for the tax category selected in the product. I can see that you configured different tax categories for your tax rules. Based on what you're saying, it seems that you selected "Default tax category" in the "tax category" setting of your products. And thus, only the third tax rule, restricted to Poland, is taken into account. You'll want to change the tax category for the other two tax rules to "Default tax category" so that they can be taken into account too.

You should see this: [ www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/attachments/82931/hika.jpg](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/attachments/82931/hika.jpg) There, you have an edit icon for each tax rule, on the left side, next to the checkbox. Click on the edit icon in order to edit the tax rule. On the edit page, you have a tax category setting. There, you want to select "Default tax rate", not "EUR". Save and repeat for all three tax rules of [ www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/attachments/82931/hika.jpg](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/attachments/82931/hika.jpg) Then, it should work.
