# SM-F Enter Tax Groups

## Purpose of Program

Use this program to create **tax group** combinations of the different **tax codes** that were created in [SM-E](https://forum.evoerp.com/t/sm-e-enter-tax-codes/806/1). The **tax group** determines the total tax that will be charged to each customer or by each vendor.

A **tax group** can consist of just one **tax code** , if only one **tax code** applies to particular customers or vendors.

Customers are assigned to tax groups via [AR-A](https://forum.evoerp.com/t/ar-a-enter-customers/626/1) and vendors are assigned to tax groups via [AP-A](https://forum.evoerp.com/t/ap-a-enter-vendors/987/1).

If you plan on processing taxes on purchase order transactions, be sure and set the **Track PO taxes using tax groups?** prompt to Y in [SD-C](https://forum.evoerp.com/t/sd-c-purchase-order-defaults/868/1). This is not the case in the United States.

### Field Explanations

#### Group

The code you will use to identify the **tax group**.

#### Description

The description of the **tax group**.

#### Tax Code

This is the tax code that was created in [SM-E](https://forum.evoerp.com/t/sm-e-enter-tax-codes/806/1). Group the **tax codes** in the order that applies to this particular grouping. A **tax group** can consist of a single **tax code** or up to nine **tax codes**.

#### Description

The description of the tax code will automatically be displayed in this field.

#### % Rate

The tax code rate as set up in [SM-E](https://forum.evoerp.com/t/sm-e-enter-tax-codes/806/1) will automatically display in this field.

#### I.D.

The identification number of the tax code will be automatically displayed in this field.

#### On

Set this field to Y if this tax is to be calculated on preceding tax code tax amounts. If the tax is independent of the previous tax code amounts, enter an N in this field.

#### Freight

If the tax is to be calculated on freight, enter a Y in this field.

#### Print

If set to Y, the **Tax Code** and **Identification Number** entered in [SM-E](https://forum.evoerp.com/t/sm-e-enter-tax-codes/806/1) will print to the left of the tax code on invoices, acknowledgements, sales quotations, purchase orders, and RFQ’s.

In order for this feature to work, **Multi-Tax Forms** in [IM-A](https://forum.evoerp.com/t/im-a-international-configuration/887/1) must be set to Y.
