Tax Location Maintenance

---

You can use tax locations to specify the individual components of a sales tax code. You cannot set up a tax location unless you have already set up tax classes and tax authorities.

Use this form to assign tax rates at a class or location level. You can set different rates of tax for items assigned to the same tax class, but sold in a different location — for example, state or county. Tax locations are only applicable if Australian WET or U.S. sales tax is applied.

Tax location

Enter or select a tax location code, up to 15 characters.

Description

Enter a description to represent the location, up to 50 characters.

Tax authority

Select the tax authority for the location. You can group or sub-total values accumulated with the tax location using the tax authority.

Table

Add one line for each tax class for the location, and assign the tax rate using the location or class combination.

If Reduce Tax for Disc is selected, the tax on prompt payment discounts is reversed when the receipt is processed.

If you have multiple tax locations, import locations on this form using a data file.

The column USE Tax % displays at the end of the table if the option to Report USE tax is selected for the company on the Company Maintenance form. Use this to enter rates for USE tax.

You can specify a separate general ledger tax account for each tax location.
