Creating or editing a tax
The main fields of a tax are:
|
Field |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Tax code |
Mandatory. It cannot be changed once the tax is created. |
|
Tax rate |
Mandatory, as a percentage. For a composite tax, this field cannot be edited: it shows the sum of the rates of the sub-taxes, and it is updated as you add or remove sub-taxes. |
|
Accounting code |
Optional. Pick it from the list of accounting codes. It is not available for a composite tax. |
|
Default description |
Mandatory. Unfold it to enter a description in each of your trading languages. |
|
Composite |
Off by default. Turn it on to build the tax from sub-taxes (see below). |
|
Sub taxes |
Shown only when Composite is on, and then mandatory. |
The form also has other fields, among them Taxation Category, which is mandatory.
Click Save to record the tax.
And edit them:
Composite taxes
A composite tax groups several taxes that apply together. To set one up:
-
Turn on Composite. The Sub taxes field appears, and Tax rate can no longer be edited.
-
In Sub taxes, select at least two taxes. Only non-composite taxes are offered: a composite tax cannot be a sub-tax.
-
Check the Tax rate: it is the sum of the rates of the selected sub-taxes.
-
Click Save.
To change a composite tax later, add or remove sub-taxes in the same field; the tax rate follows.
And if composite add sub-taxes:
Deleting a tax
You can delete a tax from its page, with Delete, or from the list.
A tax can only be deleted if it is not used anywhere in Opencell. If it is still referenced, the deletion is refused with an error message.
