    Default Sales Tax

    If you want a tax code to be automatically set on line items, use the Domain Setting 'Default Sales Tax' to determine the default tax code. You may change the sales tax that is set automatically on an invoice or purchase order.

    Sales tax can be set on Customers, Customer Addresses, and Vendors. These defaults override the Domain Setting default sales tax.

    Details of Use

    Sales Tax is used at Invoicing and Purchase Order creation. Set the Sales Tax to determine what percent of amounts are taxed. Tax Codes on line items play a role in whether Sales Tax is applied or not.

    • Purchase orders give a detailed overview of what tax amounts are applied, right on creation.
