Tax codes imply the Value Added Tax (VAT) rate applied to an expense.

Hence, you must specify the appropriate tax codes that are relevant for your business- this helps to apply the correct tax code to an expense recorded in Pleo.

* To set up tax codes using the **Taxes API**, see the [Tax Code API](/reference/tax-codes-overview).

* To set up tax codes in the Pleo application, mention the following details in the **Settings** > **Accounting** > **Setup** tab:
