RedTeam Flex - Configure Tax Venues

Tax Venues can be set up for all of the areas (venues) where you do work and/or purchase materials and services that are subject to tax.

Tax Venues can be set up for all of the areas (venues) where you do work and/or purchase materials and services that are subject to tax.

Several tax options are supported for Tax Venues in RedTeam Flex.

  • Sales Tax: Used to apply Tax to Vendor Invoices

  • Value Added Tax (VAT): Excludes the amounts from Actual Cost in Vendor Invoices and adds the capability to manually enter tax due on your Billings to Customers.

  • Direct Tax Remittance (Sage 300): Option to collect and remit tax per Vendor Invoice.

Tax Venues can be used when creating Buyout Commitments (such as a PO) on a Project. They can also be set on the Customer Facility to be used by default on all new Projects associated with that Customer and Facility (can be changed per Project if necessary).

If a user has permission to do so, they can also add new Tax Venues at the moment of creating a Buyout Commitment.

In a venue that uses Value Added Tax, such as Texas or Canada, you will be collecting tax from your customer. Tax Venues for VAT are tracked separately from taxes for buyout commitments in the configuration and must be set up with their own venues. They will also be available to use in a Project proposal to a customer

Once they are added as a new Tax Venue, the "Value Added Tax" option must be selected. Enter the appropriate Tax Authority (who you remit to) and Tax Payer ID (}. If a venue is not marked as a Value Added Tax, it will not be available as a VAT option.
