Hi,
To insert a new tax in Odoo for the
French chart of accounts, you can indeed follow a similar approach to
how the account.tax-fr.csv file in the l10n_fr module works. CSV files
in Odoo are typically loaded during module installation through the data
section in the module's manifest file (__manifest__.py).

For example you can refer the following code:
{
'name': 'Custom Tax Module',
'version': '17.0.1.0.0',
'depends': ['account'],
'data': [
'data/account.tax.custom.csv',
],
}

Hope this helps

Hello,

Thank you very much. With your help I managed to import my new tax from a csv file. My mistake was not to have added the dependency with the localization module of my country in the manifest file.
Thanks again, you've saved me several hours going round in circles.
