Click on Mappings and click Add. You can map to all products, or product groups or individual products, even departments.

Now when you select a product, the Tax will be shown at the bottom of the ticket screen.
Note : When using Taxes, you product price needs to be ex-tax.

PS - To remove this, delete the above settings in the reverse order. But once transactions have been made, accounts cannot be removed, so use the Mapping to disable the Tax Template
