Documentation

Definition

Indicates that the account can still be posted to even if a tax code has not been entered.

If you do enter a tax code when posting to this account, the system checks the entry against the tax category.

Use

It should be possible to post both taxable and non-taxable items to an account.

You would usually set up a separate tax code for the non-taxable transactions. When taxes are entered using jurisdiction codes, however, this separate tax code cannot be used since jurisdiction codes cannot be specified for foreign customers. In this case, you allow users to post items without tax codes in the corresponding expense and revenue accounts.

You do not need a tax code postings in invoice verification since the account assignments are generally derived from the purchase order. The system therefore disregards the tax code when these postings are made.

Dependencies

The system does not generate tax information for items which do not have a tax code. It will exclude these items from tax evaluation lists.
