How to mass edit product taxes and taxes rules on Prestashop 1.7?

Taxes are a complicated subject that should be thoroughly studied because they can have a considerable impact on the cost of your products and shipping fees. Tax rates in each country are also different. PrestaShop applies a tax to all countries/states/zones by default. You must construct a tax rule if you want to apply a specific tax rate to a single country or a group of countries (but not to others). The tax regulation is then implemented per product throughout the product creation process ("Prices" tab).

Managing PrestaShop taxes and tax rules is inherently a complicated job, but applying and editing tax rules to each product in PrestaShop is even more exhausted.

It will be tiring and time-consuming if your store has a large number of products, each product group is sold to customers in different countries and you have to sit for hours, even days to apply tax for each product one by one. Is there any way to make your work simpler and help PrestaShop store owners save their precious time?

Two ways to mass edit product taxes and taxes rules on PrestaShop 1.7

Manually bulk edit taxes rules by CSV-based format file on Import

Instead of having to open each tax rule and then edit them, you can export the Product listing page into a .csv file to bulk edit the tax rule of each product then import the file again to get the new update.

However, this way is quite time-consuming, and if there is any update in the taxes of old items you have to do all the process again.

Manually mass edit by SQL database manager

There is another method that can also help you to mass edit taxes rules. You can export the taxes rules list to SQL Manager then edit it there.

This method appears to be a little more convenient, but it still takes a long time, requires you to be very careful and have code knowledge. Moreover, it's quite a risk for your database as even a minor error might cause it to be incorrect.

Although the two methods above help can you mass edit tax rules, they both have limitations that have not been able to overcome. Then, is there any more comprehensive way? It's what I'm going to tell you now!
