Tax area setup overview

Use Tax areas to group the taxing authorities for a given area, enabling you to select a single tax area rather than multiple taxing authorities when applying taxes to your fees. Before you can establish tax areas, set up taxing authorities.
Typically you will set up a tax area using only 1 taxing authority, but you have the flexibility to set up a tax area that combines up to 6 individual taxing authorities, such as state sales and service taxes and/or county sales taxes.
To open the Tax Areas setup window, select
Setup

.
You can give each tax area a unique description and select multiple taxes to combine for the tax area.
note
You can add, edit, or delete tax areas by right-clicking in a related field elsewhere in the application and selecting the action from the menu.
