Certain jurisdictions may require that sales tax amounts be included in a product's price. In this case, Aptify can calculate the taxable portion of a product's price and display the applicable tax amount on the order. This section describes how to indicate that a product's price includes tax. See Sales Tax Example: Tax Included in Price for an example of how the system calculates tax when it is included in the product price.

  1. Open a new or existing Products record.
  2. Click the Prices tab and open a new Prices record.
  3. Enter a Name for the Prices record.
  4. Enter the Price to charge on the order line.
  5. Select the Includes Tax option.

    Prices Record Plus Tax
  6. Configure the other fields in the Prices record as necessary.
  7. Click OK to save and close the Prices record.
  8. Save and close the Products record.

     

When using the Price Includes Tax option in conjunction with an order line that has both a child sales tax rate and a parent sales tax rate applied (that is, the child rate has the Override Parent Tax Rates option cleared), Aptify calculates the tax amount under the assumption that the child tax includes the parent tax amount in its calculation.
 

This holds true even if a child Sales Tax Rate has the Include Parent Taxes In Calculation option cleared.
