Set Up My Tax Settings

Modified on Thu, 17 Nov, 2022 at 6:45 PM

Tax Settings are only needed when you will be charging your clients a tax on services. Settings include Tax Label, Tax Code and Tax Rate.


Info: If you need additional assistance with your Tax Settings, please contact support.



Tip: If you have more than one Tax Rate, review the Client Level Tax Settings to determine the best Tax Setting Options.


TABLE OF CONTENTS


Tax Label

Navigate: Admin > Settings > Tax Settings


The Tax Label is the name of the tax you are charging. It will display on Invoice Totals.
  • Enter tax description.
  • Click "Update."


Note: In some areas, it is a legal requirement to display "Tax Invoice" or "VAT Invoice" instead of only "Invoice." 
  • When you enter GST in "Tax Label," the first line above Payment Terms will read Tax Invoice. 
  • If you enter VAT in "Tax Label," the first line above Payment Terms will read VAT Invoice.
  • Conversely, if you charge GST, but DO NOT want "Tax Invoice" displayed, add a space after the "GST" and this will prevent the automatic Label change.

Tax Code

If GST / TIN / VAT code is required on your invoices, enter it in "Tax Code" and it will display above Payment Terms.


Note: If you want your GST / TIN / VAT code to appear below Payment Terms, do not use "Tax Code." Instead use Invoice Narrative.


  • Enter your GST / TIN / VAT code in "Tax Code."
  • Click "Update."

Default Tax Rate %

The “Default Tax rate %” calculates the correct rate of tax on your invoices.
  • Enter the default tax rate percentage.
  • Click "Update".


Tip: A Tax Rate entered here applies to all service items on each Service Order. A Tax Rate set at the Client Level Tax Settings will override the settings entered here.



Note: Do not enter % sign, just the numeric value.
