Set up sales tax reporting codes

The Sales tax reporting codes refer to a field number that's listed on a sales tax report. They are used on country/region-specific report layouts. They're also used on the Sales tax payment by code report. That report shows sales tax amounts for a settlement period summarized for each reporting code. After you create Sales tax reporting codes, you can refer to those codes on the Report setup FastTabs, which you can access from the Sales tax code page.
