Defining Taxes

You must define taxes before they can be associated with charge codes, service charges, and properties. When you define taxes, you can enter either a percentage (Percent field) or a flat fee (Amount field). Only one of these fields can be used per tax.

Use the Tax Administration screen to define taxes.

To define a tax

  1. From the application-level menu, choose View > Site Map > Tax Administration > Taxes.
  2. In the More Info form, click New and provide information about the tax.

    3. The following table describes some of the fields.

    Field
    Comments
    Amount
    Tax defined as a flat fee. The flat fee is a pre-set amount.
    Currency
    The currency of the tax. Defaults to the default currency of the application.
    End Date
    Date the tax becomes inactive.
    Percent
    Tax defined as a percentage. The amount of tax charged will be this percentage times the price for the line item.
    Start Date
    Date the tax becomes active.

After taxes are defined, you can associate taxes with properties or service charges. For more information about associating taxes with properties, see Associating Taxes with Properties. For information about associating taxes with a service charge, see Defining Service Charges.
