The syntax for creating a tax rule in Magento 2 is as follows:

Example

Consider the following example:

Suppose you have a store that sells products to customers in two different tax zones - California and New York. You want to set a sales tax rate of 9% for customers in California and a sales tax rate of 8% for customers in New York.

2. Click on the Add New Rule button.
3. For the first tax rule (California), set the tax rule name, customer tax class, rate, and other information. In the Tax Rate section, select the California Tax Rate that you previously created. Define the Product Tax Classes.
4. For the second tax rule (New York), set the tax rule name, customer tax class, rate, and other information. In the Tax Rate section, select the New York Tax Rate that you previously created. Define the Product Tax Classes.
5. Save the tax rules.
