How to Configure Taxes

Fill in all required information and click the ➕ Add button:

  1. Name: the name of the tax (e.g., VAT, ISS, IVA).

  2. Description: an optional description to help identify the tax.

  3. Type: choose from the available options (e.g., Percentage or Fixed).

  4. Application: define whether the tax amount will be added to or deducted from the base amount.

  5. Value: the tax amount, depending on the selected type.


After Adding a Tax

  • The newly created tax will be listed in the Taxes section alongside any others already configured.

  • You can edit (1) or remove (2) a tax at any time by clicking the corresponding icons in the table.

  • When selecting the edit option, all previously configured fields will be available for updates. Additionally, an extra field will be displayed:

    1. Currency: allows you to define a specific value for a currency that differs from the default tax value.

      • When a specific currency is added, the tax will not follow the default value for that currency.

      • You can define a new Application and Value exclusively for that currency.

  • Added taxes can be inherited by Org Units (1) and Users (2) by enabling the corresponding highlighted options.

    • When a tax is set as default for Org Units, it will appear under the Billing tab of each unit:
      Organizations > Organizational Units > [Org Unit] > Billing

    • When a tax is set as default for Users, it will appear under the Billing & Languages tab of the user’s profile:
      People > Users > [User] > Billing & Languages
