Location Taxes & Other Charges

There are a huge number of Taxes and Other Charges that various federal, state, provincial, county, and municipal governments require service businesses to collect and remit. And there are many ways those governments would like you to calculate those charges. The software software ships with most known Taxes and Other Charges for your business's area of operations already defined.

Should we have missed one, or a government comes up with a new one, the software has a Taxes and Other Charge authoring tool. The software's invoicing system automatically calculates these Taxes and Other Charges during invoice generation, then handles your remittances.

Taxes and Other Charges are an integral part of the software's General Ledger, as are all the software's financial transactions.

You may also define and automatically pass on to your customers the cost of shop supplies used to repair vehicles, based on any criteria you choose.

You use the Other Charges (Master List) dialog to define all these other charges that are added to invoices, such as sales or other taxes, environmental disposal fees, flat rate charges for shop supplies, etc.

Once defined for the business Enterprise, the list of charges that apply at each business Location can be specified using the Other Charges - Location dialog.  So each business Location will activate a subset of the Master Other Charges list.
