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. This information is used in Customer Shipping Information and Material Receiving Location default tables. This default setting assigned to each shipping address for each customer will be entered in orders automatically when a new order is added, 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. This section may not apply to states that do not have local or state sales tax or states with manufacturing local & state sales exemption.

The user may also define the GL accounts to be used for taxes in this section, if the accounting module is active.
