Set Up Tax Types

Given that you're running a business in countries like the USA or Canada, there is a need to break down your tax according to city, county, and state. With the introduction of our Tax Type component, you can easily get this up and running in no time!

Part 1 (Manual)

Step 1

Navigate to Settings > Configuration > Tax Types

Step 2

Click on the ‘New Tax Type’ button on the top right-hand corner. Fill in the Name, Code, Tax Type, and the relevant tax components. There are 3 main tax types to select from the drop-down:

1. Sales Tax – can only be applied to sales orders and customer relationships
2. Purchases Tax – can only be applied to purchase orders and supplier relationships
3. Both Sales and Purchases Tax – can be applied to sales/purchase orders and customer/supplier relationships

Step 3

Once you've filled up the relevant information, just click on the 'Create’ button and you're done! 🎉

Part 2 (From Xero)

If your QuickBooks Commerce account is already integrated with Xero, you can link it up with your Xero's Tax Type. You can also import the Tax Type from Xero to QuickBooks Commerce by selecting any of the checkboxes followed by the ‘Save Changes’ button.

This would then show up when you create a sales/purchase order.

Part 3 - An example of Sales Order with New Tax Types

Step 1

Go to Sales Orders > Orders > and add a line item to your respective sales order. Click on the TAX column and a dropdown box should appear, allowing you to select from the various tax types available. 

Step 2

After you've made your selection, the tax components will be reflected right below. 

That's it! Who knew handling taxes could be so easy!? 🤗
