This is where the user must enter all sales tax information. The tax ID, tax authority description, and rates for various city, county, state, province, etc., are entered here. Sales tax information is used in Customer Shipping Information and the Material Receiving Location default tables. This default setting is assigned to each shipping address for each customer, and will be entered in orders automatically when a new order is added and if the "Tax Box" is checked. The tax ID is also associated with the user’s bill-to/ship to address for purchases, and added to taxable items on a purchase order. The default information in the invoice and purchase order can be modified during the entry process for a new order. Lastly, the user may also define the general ledger accounts to be used for taxes in this section, if the accounting module is active.
Note: this section may not apply to states that do not have local or state sales tax, or states with manufacturing local and state sales exemption.
