Definition

The sales tax code represents a tax category, that must be taken into consideration in the tax declaration to the tax authorities.

The tax codes are per country. A tax record and other features are defined for each tax code in the system.

Procedure

For tax-free and non-taxable transactions, you should use tax codes with 0 percent, if the corresponding transactions are to be used in tax returns.

Note

When there are changes to the tax record by law, new tax codes must be defined. The old codes must be kept with the old tax records until there are no more open items using those tax codes.
