Feature of the Day: Date Effective Tax Rates

Date Effective Tax Rates

Why this feature is cool!

This feature allows the user to set up different tax percentages for a tax detail ID for various date ranges as specified by the tax authority. The tax percentage that you set up for a date range overrides the tax percentages set up in Microsoft Dynamics GP for transactions that fall within the specified date range. You also can update tax detail IDs in the Tax Detail Maintenance window with the tax percentage using Date Effective Tax Rates. Date Effective Tax is applicable on saved transactions originating from the Receivables Management, Sales Order Processing, Payables Management and Purchase Order Processing modules in Microsoft Dynamics GP.
