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
