# Overview

> A Tax Rate is the percentage at which an individual or corporation is taxed.

**The Tax Rates Data Model** represents the percentage at which an individual or corporation is taxed. This unified model provides a unified representation of tax rates across various accounting platforms.

* **Unified tax rate properties**: Essential tax rate details, such as name, code, effective tax rate, and total tax rate, are standardized across different accounting platforms
* **Tax components support**: The data model encompasses an array of individual tax components, enabling the representation of complex tax structures and relationships between components
* **Effective tax rate calculation**: The model accounts for the compounding effects of all tax components, providing an accurate effective tax rate for each entry
