Impact on changing 'Normal Tax' to 'Sales Tax'

(3) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by NI-V3 260

An US organization, using Business central for 3 years. Recently we plan to introduce State wise sales tax. The 3 years data was posted as "Normal tax". 

Can we introduce the "Sales Tax" along with Tax Jurisdictions, Tax area and tax group?
What will be the impact of financial data when the tax setup is changed to "Normal Tax" to "Sales tax"?

I have the same question (0)

    I guess by normal tax, you post the tax manually to a tax account? Switching to Tax Jurisdictions, Tax area and tax group doesn't have other financial impact per my understanding, BC just calculate the tax amount based on the setup and post to the designated account. The main difference is go from manual to automatic.

    Yes, switching from manual ("Normal Tax") to automated Sales Tax setup has no impact on historical data—Business Central just moves from manual tax posting to automatic calculation based on jurisdictions, areas, and groups.

    Hello,
     
    Yes, it is possible to make the change and it does not affect historical movements.
     
    It is important to configure: Tax Jurisdictions, Tax Areas, Tax Groups and Customer and Item tax setup accordingly.
     
    I hope I can help.
     
    Regards,
