Code allows allocation of an alpha value to the various tax codes that apply to stock. When adding stock, add the appropriate tax code and the tax paid stock prices will automatically be calculated from the tax free prices.

In the setup grid, there are five fields that need to be filled out for each tax value. They are:

 

setuptaxcode1

 

Field

Explanation

Code

A unique alpha code for each tax type.

Percent %

The percentage value of the tax.

Type

Description

A description of the tax (up to 30 characters).

GST Sales and GST Purchase

Indicates where in the GST worksheet these values will be entered (auto-filled by Jim2).

Active (checkbox)

Whether the tax code is active and available for use.

 

Quality

Once a tax code is used, it cannot be altered or deleted – untick Active to make it inactive. By making a tax code inactive, it is no longer available for use from that point onwards. If that code has been used previously, it still applies within historical records, and it can be re-enabled at any time.
