Tax Type

A tax type determines where the tax paid or collected is tracked on the balance sheet. The balance sheet account to which NetSuite posts the collection or payment of tax is called the tax control account.

In NetSuite, the tax types are either already set up by default, or set up for you by Professional Services. When you add a subsidiary in a new country, the tax types for that country become available in the system automatically. However, an administrator can create new tax types if necessary.
