Configuring and Calculating Taxes

Tax rates standardize VAT and withholding calculation and posting.

Define a rate

Create a rate with code, percentage, and type, then link the proper tax account.

  • Only one default rate may be selected.
  • New transactions use active rates only.

Calculation methods

Choose whether tax is added above the price or included within it.

  • Tax is calculated per line, then rounded line values are summed.
  • Multiple taxes can be applied sequentially to the running total.

Posting and reporting

The system posts tax to its account and reports collected, paid, and net due amounts.

  • A rate used in transactions cannot be deleted.
  • Tax reports use approved transactions only.
