Tax Code Table for Switzerland

The following table shows the properties required to correctly generate the Switzerland tax reports provided by the International Tax Reports SuiteApp. The tax code names or letters used in the following table are suggested names or default system preferences. You can rename the tax codes. Tax reports identify transactions by looking at the tax code properties, not the tax code names.

On the New Tax Code or Edit Tax Code page, check the boxes of the properties that apply to the tax code. For more information about tax code properties, see Tax Code Properties.
