Tax rules table

The tax rules define the tax codes to apply to a specific transaction type,within a specific jurisdiction. The rules define the sequence in which to calculate the tax, as well as whether any other tax amounts are to be included in the base value of the tax calculation.

The tax rules are preloaded with the standard set of tax rules. These should be reviewed and revised as needed.
