Subsidiary or Company Information in SuiteTax

The Subsidiary page (or Company Information page for accounts that are not OneWorld) contains multiple fields used for different tax registrations of the subsidiary, some for direct tax purposes (corporate or personal income) and some for indirect tax purposes (sales tax, GST/PST, VAT).

In SuiteTax, the tax registration numbers for indirect tax purposes are consolidated on the Tax Registrations subtab. The Tax Registrations subtab replaces the Nexuses subtab on subsidiary records when you enable the SuiteTax feature.

The following table shows the changes on the Nexuses/Tax Registrations subtab when you enable SuiteTax.
