Taxing authorities overview

Use the
Taxing Authorities setup
screen to set up various state and local sales and services taxes to be applied to your firm’s invoices. You may need to set up different taxes depending on where your firm or client does business, whether state and/or local sales taxes or service taxes.
Taxes that you set up here can be combined into tax areas that combine taxing authorities for a specific area. Taxing authorities are a subcomponent of tax areas, and needs to be set up first.
