In the U.S., you must pay use tax on purchases if sales tax is not applied. (We recommend that you review IRS rule changes for the applicable tax year for up-to-date information about U.S. tax rules.) To track use taxes as they accrue, set up an appropriate offset account, and then select the offset account in the Use tax payable field in the Ledger posting groups form.

When you select the Apply U.S. taxation rules check box on the Sales tax tab in the General ledger parameters form, any sales or use taxes that are posted in a ledger account that is used for expenditures is recorded.

Example: recording use tax

In the General ledger parameters form, select the Apply U.S. taxation rules check box.

Assume that you order office supplies over the Internet. You receive an invoice for USD 500, which does not include the 6 percent sales tax that is applicable in the state where the goods will be used. When you enter the vendor invoice, enter a USD 500 credit for the vendor account and a USD 30 credit for the use tax payable account, for a total USD 530 debit for the Office supplies expense account.

The following table displays how the amounts are posted.
