Change Tax

Auto Shop Writer permits charging a separate tax rate for individual clients.  When a client is first added, the default parts and labor rates are put on their account.  However, you can specify a different rate when appropriate.

For parts and labor, when selecting this utility, you will see a previous and new field for each tax rate.  To keep from changing all values, we actually allow you to specify the current value, and the desired new rate.

For example, if some customers pay 8.25 % but most pay 8.75%, and that rate is now 8.85%, on parts only, you would have:

Previous Parts tax rate                8.75

New parts tax rate                8.85

Those at 8.25 % would remain unchanged.

This utility will change the rates in your client records.  Be sure to also add the new tax rate to the tax rate validation list ( Tools - Setup in ASW 8 ).
