Hi,

I wonder what the difference is between using the check box for "Use Tax" and "Reverse charge" for the sales tax code when I set up sales tax groups?

I have always set the "use tax" check box to yes if I want the Sales tax transaction to reverse when I post a transaction where I will need the sales tax for reporting purposes but I will not pay it (For example when you buy a product from an EU country to Sweden). I have read about it but it seems like the result becomes the same, no matter which of the two check boxes I choose to fill out. So what is the difference?
