<p class="Help-Text">There are two ways You can automatically have Point of Sale collect the correct amount of sales tax on sales to customers that qualify for special tax handling.</p>
<ul>
<li class="p-Help-Bulleted" style="margin-left: -20px;">
<p class="Help-Bulleted"><font class="hcp1">Specify that the customer is tax-exempt.</font> This is the easiest option if sales tax is never charged on sales to the customer, such as may be the case with charitable organizations or certain re-sellers.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p class="Help-Indent"><font style="font-style: italic;">Example:</font> The customer is from another state and your tax regulations do not require sales tax to be collected on out-of-state sales.</p>
<p class="help-indent">&#160;</p>
<p class="Help-Note" style="margin-left: 27px;">A hard-coded tax location, named <span class="hcp2">Exempt</span>, is used on sales to <a href="customers_tax.htm">customers you have marked as tax-exempt</a> and has an automatic 0% tax rate for all tax codes. The Exempt tax location is not displayed in your sales tax preferences, but is available for filtering sales reports.</p>
<ul>
<li class="p-Help-Bulleted" style="margin-left: -20px;">
<p class="Help-Bulleted"><font class="hcp1">Set up and assign a tax location to the customer.</font> This option is best if the customer is taxed, but at a different rate than your normal tax rates. You are prompted to apply the customer tax location when making a sale to the customer, but can elect to do so or not on individual sales.</p>
