Global withholding tax

This article provides information about global withholding tax functionality and explains how to set it up. The new functionality is available in version 10.0.17 and later.

Global withholding tax functionality is enhanced for vendor and customer transactions, so that withholding tax is calculated at the item level. The balance in the withholding tax account from purchase transactions can be settled by running the withholding tax payment job against the withholding tax settlement account.
