Tax Types

A tax type is a category used to identify and organize a specific kind of tax within the system. Tax types help determine how taxes are calculated, reported, collected, and tracked for businesses and transactions.

Examples of tax types may include sales tax, lodging tax, restaurant tax, or other local or industry-specific taxes. Tax types are commonly used to support reporting, filing, reconciliation, and financial analysis within Business Tax Collection.
