# How to apply country-specific taxes based on customer type

Imagine you sell in several countries and, within each of them, your customers aren’t all the same from a tax perspective: some are individuals, others are businesses, and the tax rate that applies can vary depending on which group each buyer belongs to. If your store applies the same tax criteria to every customer in a country, without distinguishing their type, you risk applying the wrong tax on part of your sales.

## The correct tax for each type of customer

Magicfront AI applies country-specific taxes based on customer type. Instead of treating every buyer in the same country the same way, the platform lets the tax calculation take the customer’s nature into account, applying in each case the tax rules that correspond to their country and their type.

### Say you sell to both individuals and businesses

When a store serves both end consumers and business customers, the applicable tax rules are often not the same for both. Configuring this distinction in the backoffice lets every order be calculated automatically with the tax criteria that corresponds to the type of customer placing it, without anyone on the team needing to manually review each sale to determine which tax applies.

### A criterion that adapts country by country

The way one type of customer is distinguished from another for tax purposes isn’t the same in every country: each has its own regulations. That’s why this tax distinction is applied specifically for each country, rather than using a single generic criterion for the whole international operation, allowing the store to comply with local regulations in every market it sells in.

## Less manual review, more reliability

The more countries and customer types a store manages, the harder it becomes to manually apply the correct tax criteria to every sale without making mistakes. Automating this logic from the backoffice reduces that risk and adds reliability to the invoicing process, especially in operations where sales to individuals and businesses coexist within the same catalog and the same markets.

## In summary

Applying country-specific taxes based on customer type lets you correctly calculate the tax obligation of every sale, whether it’s an individual or a business, adapting to the local regulations of every market you operate in.
