Tax Type

The Tax Type field on the AP Recurring Invoices form, items Info tab.

Specify the tax type for this item.

  • 1-Sales – Tax amounts are payable to the vendor and are added to the invoice total. This tax amount is directly charged to Job Cost, Equipment, and GL.

  • 2-Use - Tax amounts are accrued, and will be paid at a later date to the appropriate State or Local taxing authority. Calculated tax amounts do not affect the gross or net balance due to the vendor. Instead, the transaction’s gross amount and tax amount is charged to Job Cost, Equipment, and GL account with an offsetting liability account as defined in HQ Tax Codes. Use the AP Tax Report to obtain an itemization of use tax amounts.

  • 3-VAT – (Value Added Tax) This tax is paid on goods and services at each stage of production or distribution, and is based on the value added at each stage. This tax is tracked in the GL and reduces the payment to a taxing authority through an Input Tax Credit (ITC). This tax is not directly expensed. This option is the default for Canadian and Australian companies (Default Country field, HQ Company Setup). Use the AP Value Added Tax Report to obtain an itemization of VAT amounts.
