Hi,
Yes if you change a tax namekey, you will need to edit the namekey in the other tables (if the tax has been used).
You can change it directly in the database. We did not allow the modification in the HikaShop backend due to the implications on older orders etc.
But if you do not have a lot of orders ; it is something you can do. Otherwise I recommend you the same thing than Mohamed told you : create a new one.
