How is sales tax calculated?
D.E.S.T computer Solutions charges sales tax based on the destination of the shipment and in accordance with state and local tax laws. Your shopping cart only shows the estimated sales tax. After your order is placed, an email confirmation will be sent with the order total — including the verified sales tax.
Sales tax is calculated from two factors: the invoice’s tax rate and whether tasks are taxable or non-taxable. Each task can be marked as “taxable” or “non-taxable” in the Edit Task web page, which helps determine whether sales tax is charged. Then when the job is added the task settings are copied to the job ticket. When an estimate is printed, Clients & Profits ASAP calculates sales tax based on the job’s taxable tasks and their estimate amounts. When an A/R invoice is added the job task’s settings are copied to the invoice. When an A/R invoice is posted, sales tax is calculated using the invoice’s sales tax rates and the invoice’s taxable billing amounts. Sales tax is added to the invoice’s total.
