Create a new tax group for back-to-school items

Many jurisdictions implement back-to-school sales tax holidays before the start of the school year. During these periods certain school supplies, clothing and electronics are exempt from sales tax.

Create a tax group to categorize these items:

1. Use Create Tax Group to create and name a new tax group. Save the id that is returned. Note that each tax group is calculated based on the tax region, if the tax group is treated differently based on the region then a unique group should be created for each region.
2. Use Update Product to update the taxGroupId field for the relevant products in your catalog.

When a tax group is no longer needed, for example if the seasonal status no longer applies, simply delete the group. The default tax group for that catalog will apply to any products that have the deleted taxGroupId.
