sales tax reports

This question is answered

Hello all.  My Tax Period Reports sales numbers (Reports:Company:Taxes) do not match my sales numbers in Sales Order Processing (thru Smart List) or my sales Report in the Sales module Reports, History, Sales History Register.

 

I know the tax period report does not include my non-taxable installation labor, but when I add that into the totals on the Tax Period Report the two reports still do not match

 

Any insight?  Thank you

  • hi Robin,

    You likely have already resolved this. However, that is the most common reason: that you have sales that were not subject to tax so they would not be on the company tax reports. If they are on the tax reports (using an exempt tax detail)-some customers will use the following article to get these to calculate the right total:

    You can query your sales invoices/returns to see what documents/customers don't have any tax amounts:

    Open smartlist

    Click Sales> sales transactions

    Click columns, add Tax Amount

    Click search and search where soptype=Invoice and Tax amount=0.00

    You could repeat the same for Returns

  • Robin,

    For your SmartLists, are you taking voided documents and returns into account for the check figures?

  • Hi Mike.  I manually backed out the returns in smart list, and that total then equaled my Sales:Reports:History:Register number.

  • This is Robin.  I did find a few things that lead to some errors.  One client had no tax data at all so the sale wasn't taken into account.  I will continue to work on it and report here so future questions may be answered.
