If the product's tax status is "Exempt", the tax codes defined on the account are used, but a tax rate of 0.000% is applied. If the product's tax status is "Exempt for Qualifying Accounts", the tax codes defined on the account are used for qualifying accounts (those with a sales tax status of "Exempt for Qualifying Products"), but a tax rate of 0.000% is applied. |
| External Tax Code | If your organization is configured to use an external system for tax calculation and product-specific tax calculation is required, you can map this product to a tax code in the external system by specifying the tax code here. If the product code exactly matches an item code in the external system and a tax code is associated with the item in the external system, that tax code will be used regardless of whether or not a value is entered here. If this field is left blank and there is no tax code associated with the corresponding item in the external system, then tax will be calculated based solely on company and account addresses. See Setting up External Tax Calculation for more information. | |
