Tax Authorities
From the menu bar, click Maintenance > General Maintenance > Tax Authorities or press Alt N G T on the keyboard.
A tax authority code must be established for each tax authority that you sell in. Tax rates may vary from one city to the next and if you have multiple stores a tax authority must be established for each of the varying rates. It may also be necessary to establish various tax authorities if you do mail orders and the tax rate varies depending upon where the customer lives.
