AR: Sales Tax Report
Overview
The Sales Tax Report is used to track taxable and non-taxable purchases for a specific date range. Use this report when filing sales tax forms for the state, county, and city.
You can group by Customer & Invoice or Government Type & Description.
If you Group by Customer & Invoice, you can sort by Customer Name or Number.
If you Group by Government Type & Description, you can sort by Government Type or Government Hierarchy. When you sort by Government Type, the report lists all State information first, then County, City, and Local tax information.
When you sort by Government Hierarchy, this looks at jurisdictions based on parent and groups them together for reporting purposes. For the State of Nebraska (who is the "parent" of other jurisdictions, under Govt Type of State: Nebraska, all counties, then Cities, and Locals that have Nebraska as the Parent, are grouped together; followed by the next Jurisdiction and grouping.
Jurisdictions that have no "Parent" are listed first.
The details report contains all sales tax information down to the invoice level. Invoices that were entered through Customer Balances display in the Non Taxable column.
The recaps only report contains taxable, non-taxable, revenue total, tax total and invoice total by tax jurisdictions.
You can filter, group, and print by Tiers, allowing for total customization of the report. To make filtering easier, for any Tier, you can include All, Pick/Create or Exclude parameters. Using Tier Templates to set up and save report templates makes it easy to generate a specific report each time you need it, without having to recreate the criteria. See Using Tier Templates for more information.
Key Functionality
Select a report template from the list, or type a description and Save your settings to create a report template for later reuse. You may also select and Delete report templates from the list.
Type a description to name the report. This description prints above the Report Title.
The Default Company Name for Report is populated from the Company Setup screen. The list contains all companies for which you have security permissions to view. If you have permission for only one company, that will be the only one displayed in the list. If you have permissions to multiple companies, the list will display those companies PLUS the default reporting company.
When discernible, WinTeam will print the appropriate company name and logo on each page; otherwise the Default Company Name will print. That is, if a Company level is included in the tiered section and is displayed in the tiered information at the bottom of the page, then that company's Report Name and Logo (if selected) prints on that page.
If there is not a Company identified in the tier area of the page, then the Default Company Name for Reports is used. The default Company Name and Logo is also used for the Total Enterprise report. For more information see Learning about WinTeam Reports.

When applied to multiple jurisdictions, only $500.00 of the toilet paper item ($1,000.00) was set as taxable in all jurisdictions.
When applied to a single jurisdiction, the entire $1000.00 displays as taxable in the main report and the actual distribution for each jurisdiction displays in the recap.
