About Product Category Tax Rates
You can optionally configure local taxes to be added to product prices at the individual product level or at the category tag level (so that all products tagged with that category are taxed the same).
The product-level tax rate overrides all other tax rates. Product category tax rates only apply when an individual product has NO tax rate configured in its pricing settings.
