Tax rate settings

Select the tax rate from one of the following values:

• VAT (e.g. Europe)

  For European documents that use tax rates, the Amount Group Locator can search for amounts using the following equations for tax rates.

  NetAmount * TaxRate = TaxAmount

  NetAmount + TaxAmount = Total

• Sales and Use Taxes (e.g. US)

  Sales and Use Taxes tax model is used in the USA. Several optional sales or use taxes can be applied to the net amount. Typically, all sales taxes are applied to the same net amount. The actual tax rate depends on the city, county, and state (or some other regional boundary). Frequently, the tax rates are not printed on the invoice, and therefore are considered as unknown. The following equation is used for validating an invoice with sales or use taxes.

  SubTotal + Postage + Packaging - Discount + TaxAmount1 +…+ TaxAmount4 = Total

  An international invoice typically does not contain taxes. They can be processed in projects with either of the tax models. No special settings are required to specify the validation of an international invoice.

Use the following buttons to manage your tax rate settings:

Button	Description
Add	Adds a new tax rate to the selected country.
Delete	Removes the currently selected tax rate from the list.

Most countries have different tax rates for good and services. For example, the United Kingdom has three different VAT rates. The standard rate of 20% is applied to most goods and services. A reduced rate of 7% is applied to goods and services such as health products, fuel, and heating. The third rate is called zero rate for 0% and is applied to goods and services like food, books, and clothes for children.
