Taxes

To charge taxes during a sales process, you must add each required tax to the system and configure the rate. You can also make one tax the default applied to taxable merchandise. When you configure a tax, you can assign both daily admission programs and scheduled programs to the tax. This is an efficient way to add taxes to multiple programs, rather than to access each individual program record.

Note: If your organization charges tax, you must add debit and credit account or account code mappings that are used when you generate general ledger distributions for tax revenue. For more information, see the “Manage General Ledger Account Setup” section of the help file.

After a tax is added to the system, it is active immediately and you can assign it to programs and any other items or services you sell. When an order is processed that involves an item configured with a tax, the appropriate tax is automatically charged. Each tax charged is clearly displayed during the order process.

Warning: When a rate changes for an existing tax, you should edit the appropriate tax and enter the new rate the night before the new rate takes effect. For more information about how to change a tax rate, see Edit Taxes.
