Setup

What this is

Tax codes let Cloudby work out tax on your sales and purchase documents. You set up a code once, then pick it on invoices and bills.

Before you start

You need access to Finance settings. If you do not see Settings under Finance, ask whoever manages your Cloudby account to give you access, or to set this up for you.

Open Taxes

Go to Menu > Finance > Settings > Taxes.

Create a tax code

  1. Click Create.
  2. Enter a Code (this is what you refer to on documents) and a Name.
  3. Add a Description if useful, and keep it Active.
  4. Open the Rates tab and use Add more rates to set the rate and the date it applies from.
  5. Click Create.
