Use tax provider

With the Use Tax Provider check box in the Tax Provider Parameters (tctax6100m000) session, you can determine whether you want to enable tax calculations for US and Canadian taxes.

If you use a tax provider, the tax amounts are stored in the tax register of the tax provider. To display the amounts also in LN, they must also be calculated in LN, which decreases performance. To limit performance problems, you can also set up tax calculation rules in LN by using destination sales tax exception modeling, or tax exception modeling.

However, this is only a good alternative if the following is applicable:

  • The required knowledge on tax rules and jurisdictions is available.
  • The number of rules and jurisdictions is limited.
