How do I set up tax reciprocity between states or local tax jurisdictions?
Description

Below are the options for Agreement Type to specify how the Reciprocal Tax ID affects the Tax ID:

  • Replace: The Reciprocal Tax ID replaces the Tax ID. The tax calculation for the Reciprocal Tax ID is performed instead of the tax calculation for the Tax ID. If the Reciprocal Tax ID is blank, no tax is calculated for either tax ID.
    Example: If the Tax ID XXSWH and the Reciprocal Tax ID is YYSWH. With the Agreement Type of Replace, the Tax YYSWH would be taken, and no XXSWH would be taken.
  • Balance: The calculated amount for the Tax ID is subtracted from the calculated amount for the Reciprocal Tax ID. The amount for the Tax ID is not affected by balance reciprocity.
    Example: If the Tax ID XXSWH for $50 and the Reciprocal Tax ID is YYSWH on the same subject to amount would calculate at $90. With the Agreement Type of Balance, the Tax YYSWH would be taken for $40, and XXSWH would take $50.
  • Take Both: The full tax amount for both the Reciprocal Tax ID and the Tax ID is calculated. This option is only available when setting up reciprocity agreements between states.
    Example: If the Tax ID XXSWH for $50 and the Reciprocal Tax ID is YYSWH on the same subject to amount would calculate at $90. With the Agreement Type of Take Both, the Tax YYSWH would be taken for $90, and XXSWH would take $50.
