What are the Different Types of Tax Settings in Sage 50?
In Sage 50, there are three types of tax settings: Custom, General, and Tax. Custom tax lets you set up your own tax rates and rules. General tax sets the default tax rates and rules for all sales transactions. Tax is the default setting for company taxes and provides pre-set rates and rules for computing taxable income.
The first step in setting up your taxes is to select the type of tax you want to use: Custom, General, or Tax. In addition to these three types of taxes, you can also use Accounting Settings > Company Setup > Fiscal Year > Tax Type to set up an accounting system with different accounting periods (e.g., fiscal year, half-year) that have different tax settings.
When you create a custom tax rate or rule, Sage will remember that rate for future transactions based on the category selected in the Rate Type column in the Sales Tax table (Customs > Sales Tax). If a transaction falls into more than one category in the Rate Type column, Sage will apply the highest rate (from any column) to that transaction. For example, if you have a custom rate of 5% for groceries and 10% for other items, and a customer purchases both groceries and something else from your business at once, Sage will apply the 5% food sales tax rate to the grocery purchase but apply the 10% total sales tax rate to everything else purchased from your business at once.
