❑These Vendor Classification Codes are designed to allow you to separate your Vendors into groups that are based on your Sales Tax Payment obligations (although you may choose additional/other reasons to define these codes).
•Depending on the Vendors from whom you make your Purchases, where they are located, and if they will (or will not) assess Sales Taxes on the Purchases, you may be required to separately pay certain Sales Taxes directly to your state's Department of Revenue - particularly for items that are not Purchases For Resale (purchases for resale are often taxed at the retail level when sold, and so may be exempt at the wholesale level - check your local Sales Tax related rules).
✓Vendor Tax Information - identifying the Tax Rate(s) that must be charged - is entered in the Edit Tab on the Vendors Form.
✓The Taxes Billed Report provides a list of all the Bills entered (within a specified Date Range) and which - and for how much - the Invoice Items on these Bills were taxed.
•However, if this Sales Tax Tracking process is not needed in your situation, you may classify each of your Vendors based on the Service, Type, Need, or whatever else you deem appropriate.
