Tax and terms

Use online tax calculation?

If the option to use online customer payments is selected in Accounts Receivable Installation, this checkbox will be available. Select this checkbox to use the Avatax service to determine the appropriate jurisdiction, calculate the correct sales tax amount and file sales tax reports with the taxing authorities. When this option is selected, the Taxable, Allocate invoice to multiple tax codes and Sales tax fields will be disabled, thereby disabling the user's ability to override the sales tax amount.

Taxable

Select whether or not this invoice is taxable.

If taxable, the sales tax rate based on invoice date and sales tax rate will appear to the right of this field.

• If the Override calculated tax? option was selected, the percentage-based override amount will display.

• If the Allocate invoice to multiple sales tax codes? option was selected, the composite percentage based on allocated taxable amounts and rates will display.

Allocate invoice to multiple sales tax codes?

Select this checkbox to override the sales tax and set up additional tax codes before revenue is recorded.

Sales tax

The sales tax code defined for this customer displays; up to 15 characters are allowed. Press Enter to accept this default, or enter a different code if desired. The tax percentage will display. If the percentage is zero, nothing will display. This code defaults from the Contracts when this is a job invoice.

The sales tax code entered here must have been previously defined in Sales Tax Code Maintenance; sales tax codes may be up to 15 characters long. A lookup window is available for viewing valid sales tax codes. If an effective date falls before the first date in the rate history file, Spectrum will use the earliest revision.

If the Allocate invoice to multiple sales tax codes? is selected, the Tax Allocation button will display here in place of this field. Click this button to open the Sales Tax Allocation window window.

Payment terms

The normal payment terms code set up for this customer displays in this field. Press Enter to accept the default, or enter a different terms code if desired. This code defaults from the Customers screen. The terms code must have been previously defined through Terms Code File Maintenance.

Retention

If a job was entered on the main screen, then the retention percentage for this contract displays; the retention defaults from Contracts. If no job was entered on the main screen, this field is bypassed, but it is possible to left arrow back and record a retention percentage for the invoice.

This percentage will be used to apply any retention revenue, if indicated on the contract and the Use deferred retention revenue account checkbox on the Accounts Receivable Installation > G/L Codes tab is selected.

• If the Override calculated retention? checkbox is selected, the override percentage will be displayed in this field.
• If VAT processing is enabled for this company, select the PST on holdback? checkbox to hold back the retention percentage for provincial sales tax. Making changes to this checkbox requires all detail lines to be deleted first. This option will only be available when the PST on holdback? checkbox is selected in Sales Tax code Maintenance. This option will not be available if the Allocate invoice to multiple sales tax codes? checkbox is selected.

Other settings

If the selected customer is a related party customer, the Override A/R trade G/L account will default in this field.
