Can I setup a sales tax table on a job that is listed under a customer?

I have a customer GHUC with sub-customers or jobs as GHUC Spring.  (See attachment).  My accountant is telling me that I need to make the sub-customer a seperate customer for the sales tax settings to be correct.

 

Is there a way to do this without creating a whole new customer per location?  

 

Thank you in advance!

Can I setup a sales tax table on a job that is listed under a customer?

Hi there, @kelper62. We're unable to apply a unique tax table to a sub-customer or job. As sales tax settings are tied to the customer level rather than the job, each location needs its own customer profile to track rates correctly.

 

With that in mind, the best move is to set up each job as its own separate customer. This aligns perfectly with your accountant’s advice. It’s a solid way to ensure the correct sales tax rate is applied to every invoice accurately.
