You can create as many sales tax authorities as you need, and each can have specific address and contact information and a report layout. Your organization can pay sales taxes to the authority directly or through a vendor account that you create for the sales tax authority.
Click General ledger > Setup > Sales tax > Sales tax authorities.
Click New to create a sales tax authority.
In the Authority field, enter a unique identifier for the sales tax authority.
In the Name field, enter the full name or a description of the sales tax authority.
Optional: If you set up the tax authority as a vendor, your organization can use its usual payment routines to pay the sales tax authority on time. For more information, see Set up a sales tax authority as a vendor.
Note
If you do not set up the tax authority as a vendor, a user must prepare a manual payment to the tax authority on the appropriate due date.
If one is available, select the report layout for your country/region in the Report layout field. If the report layouts do not correspond to the requirements of the sales tax authority, print a report that contains the information that the tax authority requires. Then complete the reporting forms that are supplied by the tax authority.
Specify values in the Rounding form and Round-off fields for the posting of gains and losses that occur during rounding.
If you did not set up the sales tax authority as a vendor in step 5, fill in the relevant fields on the Address and Contact information FastTabs.
