How to set up a custom tax solution

If your country or legislation is not delivered, you can create a customized tax solution.

First, on the Country page, add your country and select an existing tax solution. For example, you could select a legislation with the same currency.

Next, on the Tax solution page, select the tax solution you associated with your new country. You see it included in the Countries field.

Create a new Tax solution for your new country.

You can create tax categories, rates, tax determination rules, and so on.

When you've completed the tax solution set up, return to the country record on the Country page, and replace the Tax solution with the one you just created.

You're now ready to create the company in this country, which includes adding sites, contacts, locations, and other details as needed.

If you integrate with Sage Intacct, you need to add the new country to the Sage Intacct configuration page on the Defaults tab.
