Tax Zones are sometimes known as Geo Zones and are defined here so you can set up different tax rates, payment options and shipping options for each Tax Zone - this will be done in later steps Set up Tax Rates, Set up Payment Options, Set up Shipping Options.

To explain using the default Phoenix install as an example - the default shop is located in Florida so only charges tax in Florida.

A Tax Zone has been created and named Florida (it could be named anything) - open the Tax Zone (click the Folder icon) to see the areas included in this Tax Zone and you will see Country = United States and Zone = Florida.
