Tax Amount

Enter the amount assessed and payable to tax authorities. It is the total of the VAT (value added tax), use, and sales taxes (PST).

If you leave this field blank, the system calculates the tax amount based on the Taxable Amount, Tax Rate/Area, and Tax Explanation Code fields and the defined tax rules.

When you enter a tax amount, you might receive a warning message if the amount is different than the calculated amount in the Tax Rate/Area field. This warning does not prevent you from completing the entry.
