Tax Area

Review this value to determine the geographical location and the tax authorities for an employee work site, including employee and employer statutory requirements. In the Vertex payroll tax software, the tax area code is the same as GeoCode. To determine the valid codes for the location, see the documentation for the tax calculation software that you are using.

Tax Type

Review this value to determine the type of payroll tax that is being processed. This is a UDC from 07/TX. However, you should not change the codes and definitions that are provided with the software.

Statutory Code

Review this value to determine the two-character state or two-character for province code that prints on statutory reports such as W-2s and T4s.

For example, on W-2s, the system prints the two-character state code for Colorado (CO).

Enter an alpha code from UDC table 06/SC.
