Go to the [VAT zones (TX206000)](/visma-net-erp/help/vat/vat-windows/vat-zones-tx206000/) window. 1. In the **VAT zone ID** field, enter the unique ID for the VAT zone being created. 1. Optional: In the **Description** field, enter a clear and detailed description of the zone. 1. Optional: In the **Default VAT category** field, select the default VAT category for the VAT zone. If the VAT category is not specified in the document (for example: in the invoice), the system determines the VAT zone of the supplier or customer and uses the VAT category specified here for tax calculation. 1. On the **Applicable VAT** tab, click . In the **VAT ID** column, select a VAT for the VAT zone being created. (The system fills in the other columns of the row automatically once you select the VAT.) Repeat this step for each VAT that you want to add. 1. Click . The VAT zone is now created in the system. Now you can set this zone for a customer on the **Delivery settings** tab of the [Customers (AR303000)](/visma-net-erp/help/customer-ledger/customer-ledger-windows/customers-ar303000/) window or for a supplier on the **Purchase settings** tab of the [Suppliers (AP303000)](/visma-net-erp/help/supplier-ledger/supplier-ledger-windows/suppliers-ap303000/) window.
