Tax Groups

This screen allows you to maintain Tax Groups.  Within Ostendo:

•

Customers and Suppliers are given a Tax Group. 

•

Items, Descriptors and Labour Codes are also given a Tax Group.

•

The combination of the Customer or Supplier’s Tax Group and the Item, Descriptor or Labour Code’s Tax Group is linked to a Tax Code that provides a Tax Rate. 

 

This table enables you to define the Tax Groups.
