Tax Code Properties

Properties that define a tax code are shown as check boxes on a tax code record.

Important:

Some of the tax code properties are displayed only if you've installed the International Tax Reports. NetSuite uses these properties to generate values on each field of the VAT or GST reports. Properties you see on the tax code record vary depending on the country. For more information, see VAT and GST Reporting.
