Reverse Sales Tax

Top  Previous  Next    Xebra Home

The issue of sales tax may also result in a credit job being created.  If sales tax was erroneously charged on a job, a Sales Tax Reversal will be necessary.

First, find the job that was incorrectly charged sales tax.

If the job has NOT been Paid in Full:

While viewing the job in the Order Entry dialog, select Actions > Sales Tax Reversal.
A Warning dialog will explain that the selected job will be credited and a new job created with no sales tax.

Select OK to proceed.
The Sales Tax Reversal dialog details the Original Job Number, and the newly created Credit Job Number and New Job Number.  You will be required to enter a Tax Exempt Reason.

Select OK to create a Credit Job and a New Job without sales tax.  If you view the Original Job or the Credit Job, you will notice that they are both marked Paid-in-full.

 

If the job has been Paid in Full, the reversal will have to be done manually:

If you have already changed your customer to Tax Exempt status, you will need to change it back for this first part.
While viewing the job in the Order Entry dialog, select Actions > Credit Job.
Invoice the Credit Job using today's date.
Go to View > Customer > Billing, and flag your customer as Tax Exempt.
Go back to the original job and select Commands > Repeat Job.
Invoice the Repeat Job, making sure that tax was not charged.
GO > Accounting > Receivables > Cash Receipts > New Check.
Enter your customer code.
You can make up a check number.
Do not enter a Check Amount.  Leave it blank.
Click on New, and enter either the job number or invoice number for the Repeat Job.
Enter a positive payment for the full amount of the invoice.
Click on New, and ether either the job number or invoice number for the Credit Job.
Enter a negative payment for the full amount of the Repeat Job's invoice (total minus the tax).
The balance left on the Credit Job will now be the same as the tax amount on the original invoice (but it will be a negative).  You can do one of three things:
Apply the overpayment to an open job
Keep the Credit Job open to apply the overpayment to a future job
Issue a refund to your customer
