Advanced Sales Tax
The Advanced Sales Tax system allows you to set up Tax Areas and Tax Entities so the correct amount of sales tax can be collected during each transaction processed through Alert EasyPro’s counter system. A Tax Area is a geographical area that is defined by the amount of tax charged in that area. A Tax Entity is a specific tax being collected, such as state, local, or county taxes.
When a customer is entered into Alert EasyPro, sales Tax Areas are assigned to each customer’s file, ensuring the correct tax is charged and collected. (In many states, a different tax area, if applicable, will be assigned to each job site in the customer file.) The Tax Area can also be changed at the counter if another Tax Area should be used for a particular transaction.
A Reporting Frequency Table is used to define when each Tax Entity needs to be paid and/or reported. Then, Sales Tax Reports automatically total the amount of tax collected for each Tax Entity so tax payments can be processed accurately and efficiently.
