Inactivating or Deleting Tax Codes

If you have a tax code that you do not use and you do not want it to appear in your lists, you can inactivate or delete the tax code.

Important:

Do not delete the UNDEF tax code provisioned by NetSuite. The UNDEF tax code is used when NetSuite cannot determine the appropriate tax code for transactions that have been imported into the system using CSV or Web Services.

To inactivate a tax code:

1. Go to Setup > Accounting > Taxes > Tax Codes.

2. Check the Show Inactives box.

3. Check the box in the Inactive column next to the tax code record.

4. Click Submit.

This tax code no longer appears in the Tax Codes list unless the Show Inactives box is checked, and will not be available for selection on transactions, reports, and records.

To delete a tax code:

1. Go to Setup > Accounting > Taxes > Tax Codes.

2. Click Edit next to the tax code.

3. Click Delete. A confirmation message is shown.

4. Click OK to confirm the deletion.
