Provincial Tax Area Code Field, Purchase Line Archive Table
Specifies the Canadian provincial tax area code for the purchase line archive. This code is used to calculate sales tax charges defined by the Provincial Sales Tax (PST) rate.
Additional Information
You can use this field when a vendor does not have a business presence in the province in which purchases are made. The vendor will only charge a Goods and Services Tax (GST) or Harmonized Sales Tax (HST). However, if the province has a PST the consumer must still pay the PST that is paid to the province. When a tax area code is selected, the code is used to calculate the PST. The tax area is then used to post the tax so that there is a tax liability in both the general ledger and the tax entry records. The tax area code should only be for the PST, not the GST.
When you create purchase documents, the Company Information field is used to determine provincial tax. If a Location has been entered, the provincial tax that is associated with the code will be used.
