Sales Tax

How to get there:  Program Menu > Configurations > Accounting Configurations > Tax Tables

You must define every tax jurisdiction that your store will use. The tax table can contain up to 1000 tax jurisdictions.  For each of these, you may define the description, and up to three tiers of rental tax rate, sale tax rate, and damage waiver tax rate.  In addition, you can define the maximum taxable amount for the three tiers.  You would only define more than one tier if your sales tax changes as the taxable amount increases.  If the tax rate is the same no matter what the total price then only rates for tier one need to be entered and a Taxable Amount Up To would be set to $999,999.99. The tax rates are all expressed as a percentage; for example, a tax rate of 6.125% would be entered as 6.125.

   *Note:  If the tax rate changes for a particular jurisdiction, instead of editing the rate, create a new jurisdiction and mark the old jurisdiction inactive.  To do this:

From Program Menu, Configurations, Accounting Configurations, Tax Tables.

You must define every tax jurisdiction that your store will use.  The tax table can contain up to 1000 tax jurisdictions. 

Enter the Description.       - We recommend including the percentage rate as part of the name to avoid confusion

Enter the Max Tax Amt     -  If your jurisdiction has set a limit on the amount of tax that can be collected on a transaction

Taxing Code                     -  This would be the code that the taxing agency uses to distinguish that particular jurisdiction.

Enter the Begin Date        -  For the new jurisdiction. Today or before.

Enter the tax rates             - In the Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 sections.  Tier 2 & 3 are for the few states that charge differing tax rates base on the amount of the transaction.

**If you are not using Tier 2 or 3, enter 999,999.99 in the Taxable Amount Up To box in Tier 1. Otherwise, enter valid amounts in Tier 1 - 3 as required by your sales tax jurisdiction
