Use this form to create and manage the sales tax settlement periods that the company uses when reporting sales tax. Additionally, use this form to view the sales tax transactions of each settlement period and each period within a settlement period.

Posted transactions are marked with the settlement period in which the taxes that are related to the transaction must be reported. You attach sales tax settlement periods to sales tax codes, which in turn are attached to the sales tax groups and item sales tax groups that are attached to transactions.

A period (of the selected sales tax settlement period) for which a sales tax payment transaction is posted cannot be changed.
