Hi,
hikashop_tax and hikashop_taxation contain tax rules.
After that, the tax categories are in the hikashop_category table with a special category_type.
In orders, the tax is stored as a serialized PHP object in the column "order_tax_info".
Because it could have several taxes, the best solution was to serialize the information.
