Use this form to specify a sales tax code value or percentage for the sales tax calculation of a selected sales tax code. You specify different sales tax code values for different amount intervals and periods.

You may need to set up different sales tax code values for specific amount intervals in the calculation base (total amount to be taxed) because of the requirements of the sales tax authority. The upper and lower limits of the sales tax code values are used in the sales tax calculation in two different ways, depending on your selection in the field in the form. For more information, see Selecting Whole amount or Interval in the Method of calculation field.

You can set up sales tax code values for future periods well in advance of the date on which the values apply.

Changes in sales tax code values do not change the value of sales taxes that are already posted.
