What date to use when voiding an invoice with sales tax?
Description
If you haven’t reported and paid the sales tax to the governing agency
Use the same date of the invoice to void the invoice. The sales tax report will reflect correctly. EXAMPLE:
The Invoice date is 03/01/2025
The Sales Tax Report reflects the sales tax liability as March 2025
You haven't submitted and paid the Sales Tax Report to the governing agency
Void the invoice using the 03/01/2025 date
The Sales Tax Report for March 2025 will show the original liability and the credit of the liability
If you’ve reported and paid the sales tax to the governing agency
Use the current month's posting date so the sales tax credit reflects correctly on your Sales Tax Report. EXAMPLE:
The invoice date is 03/01/2025
The Sales Tax Report reflects the sales tax liability and March 2025
You haven't reported and paid the Sales Tax Report to the governing agency
Void the invoice using the current month's posting date
The Sales Tax Report for the current month reflects the credit of the sales tax liability NOTE:If you need to reenter the invoice, use the current month's date. The Sales Tax Report shows both the credit from the void and the new liability for the current month
