In SAP Convergent Charging, the tax is calculated by using information coming from both the customer data account holder (see subscriber account) and the consumed service (see the charges customized in a charge plan or the charges of an offer).

The subscriber account specifies tax information about the place of taxation (country) while the charge in the charge plan specifies information about the level of tax to be applied (for example, normal tax, reduced tax, and so on) in case of EU VAT system.
