Setting Up Nexuses in SuiteTax

To determine the correct tax jurisdiction and tax rate on transactions, your subsidiaries must be associated with the appropriate nexuses. Each of your tax jurisdictions must have a nexus record.

For information about nexuses, see Understanding Nexuses in SuiteTax.

For information about subnexuses, see Understanding Subnexuses in SuiteTax.

Creating a Nexus Record in SuiteTax

The following procedure is for creating a nexus or a subnexus in accounts with SuiteTax enabled.

To create a nexus record:

1. Go to Setup > Tax > Nexuses > New.

2. In the Country field, select the country this nexus is located in.

3. In the State/Province/County field (if applicable), select the state, province, or county that the nexus is located in.

   If a state/province/county record does not exist, create a new record at Setup > Company > Setup Tasks > States/Provinces/Counties > New.

4. In the Description field, enter text that describes this nexus.

5. If this is a subnexus, select the parent nexus. If this is not a subnexus, leave the Parent Nexus field blank. Only nexuses for the selected country are available in the list for the Parent Nexus field.

6. When you no longer report taxes in this nexus, or if you set it up in error, check the Inactive box.

7. In the Tax Agency field, select the name of the tax vendor to whom you submit tax reports and remit payments.

   You can set up a vendor as a tax agency in two ways:

   • By selecting Tax Agency in the Category field on the vendor record.

   • By clicking the plus icon (New) next to the Tax Agency field on the nexus record.

8. Click Save.

When viewing the record of a subnexus, you can click the link in the Parent Nexus field to see the parent nexus record.
