Sales Tax Level 1–4

The names of these levels can be customised in Environment Folder > Report Maintenance > System Settings. Locate the system settings Tax1Desc to Tax4Desc under the TAX section and enter your desired name in the Value column.

Tax Level Type

Percentage

Fixed

If Percentage is selected, the value in the corresponding Rate/Amount box will be treated as a percentage; if Fixed is selected, the it will be treated as a fixed monetary value.

For example: A Rate/Amount of 5.0000 can be configured to represent either 5% or $5.

Account Code

Any configured General Ledger Account

The General Ledger Account that tax revenues are posted to.

Default Sales Tax

Cleared

Selected

When a new item is created, the Default Sales Tax will automatically populate the Sales Tax field. This doesn't prevent users from choosing a different Sales Tax.

There can only be one default sales tax at a time.

Concession Sales

Any general-ledger account

Posts the net value of the item to this general-ledger account instead of the account selected under Item Account Code or the system account configured for Concessions Revenue.

Note: If the Item Class override has been set, the value *will* be posted to the Concessions Revenue system account.

Box Office

Advance Sales

Maturing Sales

Any general-ledger account

Posts the revenue source's tax value to this general-ledger account instead of the one selected under Ticket Type Account Code, or the system account configured for Box Office/Advance/Maturing Revenue, unless the Price Card override has been specified.

Parent Sales Tax Code

Any configured sales tax

Use this field to turn the Sales Tax you are configuring into a version of another Sales Tax.

If a version is linked to a cinema or cinema group, those cinemas will automatically use it instead of the Parent Sales Tax Code. This makes them the cinemas, or versions? useful for configuring Sales Taxes that have different rates in different locations.

For example, if a country had a tax with different rates per region, head office could create a parent with multiple versions for each region. Items created in Head Office could use the Parent Sales Tax as the Tax Code, which would automatically be changed to the relevant version when downloaded by Vista Cinema.
