Some countries such as Canada have a national tax that retailers must apply to sales orders in addition to any other state or local sales taxes. Use STORIS' National Tax feature to apply a national tax to sales order line items.
Some countries such as Australia use imbedded national tax, a specific kind of national tax.
In the Advanced Product Settings, you use the Taxable field on the Pricing tab to indicate that a product is subject to state and local sales taxation. For national taxation, you use the National Tax Exempt field. The system applies a national tax to a sales order line item if the
National Tax feature is active on your system,
order is taxed within the domestic country,
Charge National Sales Tax field in the Customer Settings is checked for the customer, and
National Tax Exempt field is blank for the product.
The system applies the national tax to the line item in addition to any other state or local sales taxes applied. The Sales Tax field on the Totals tab of the order-entry process displays the total of all sales taxes applied to each order. To see a breakdown of taxes applied, access the Order Tax Information screen via the Actions button on the Payment page of the order entry process. To override the national tax exempt status for an individual order, use the National Tax Exempt field on the Sales Order page of the Additional Line Item Details screen.
To use the National Tax Feature, do the following:
Use the Sales Tax Settings to create a tax code for national tax.
Contact STORIS to activate the National Tax Feature on your system. A STORIS representative will access your domestic country and specify the national tax code you created at the National Tax Code field, activating the National Tax Feature in the process.
Use the Advanced Product Settings to indicate the products you want to exempt from national tax. STORIS applies national tax to all products except those that have a check at the National Tax Exempt field in the Advanced Product Settings.
