Find the client, then click on the Billing Information button. The county field is the client's sales tax region, which is usually a county but can be a city, state, or province. The sales tax report sub-totals sales by county, which is needed for government's sales tax returns. The rate is used to calculate sales tax on a client's estimates and invoices. This information is copied to the client's estimates and invoices automatically.
Some jurisdictions require that county or city rates be listed separately on client invoices.
The two sales tax rates are listed separately on estimates and invoices to provide more detailed sales tax information for your clients. Also, using two rates provide more detailed information on the Sales Tax Summary. The tasks determine just what amounts are taxable. Each task in the Task Table can be marked as taxable or non-taxable, depending on its tax status. When tasks are copied to new job tickets, this default tax information is copied, too.
