Answer 1

You can define the tax code for your country using the following menupath in customizing:
IMG>Financial Accounting>Financial Accounting Global Settings>Tax on Sales and Purchases>Calculation-->Define tax codes ........... in the next screen enter your country and then the tax code you wish to create and press enter. You would be then directed to another screen, where you would maintain the description and whether it is a  Input tax or Output tax and then maintain the appropriate tax percentage and save.
Your country should also be assigned to a calculation procedure. You check the same using the same menupath as mentioned above: .............Tax on Sales and purchases>Basic Settings>Assign country to calculation procedure........In the next screen, enter the appropriate tax procedure for your country. Eg: for country DE assign tax procedure as TAXD and save.
Hope this helps.
