How to Update an Existing Taxation Item

Once a taxation item record has been created it is possible to edit any of the attributes of the record. For example, you can do any of the following:

change the name of the taxation item
change the country to which the taxation item applies
add additional tax rates and corresponding validity dates
delete any obsolete tax rates.

An existing tax rate defined within a taxation item record can also be edited so long as an invoice does not already exist for the validity period of that tax rate.

A validity period for an existing tax rate can also be edited so long as the new validity period does not predate or postdate an invoice that exists for the original validity period.

To edit an existing taxation item record, follow the procedure below.
