Invoice tax and charge rows also select an account. Choose the liability, receivable, expense, or other account that matches the organization’s tax treatment.
Create the withholding (WHT/TDS/PAYE) tax rule here. On an invoice, select it in the dedicated WHT/TDS/PAYE card, not the regular Taxes table. The linked Payment Entry then uses that rule for its withholding deduction. See Withholding Tax (WHT/TDS/PAYE).
Add a tax or charge
- Click Add Tax and Charge
- Enter the name shown to users
- Choose whether the row is a Tax or Charge
- For a tax, select the Tax Type and applicable Country
- Enter the default Rate
- Add a clear description or compliance note
- Save, then test the rule on a draft invoice before live use
ERPX applies configured rates and accounts; it does not decide your legal tax treatment. Finance should verify rules against current local requirements.
After adding a rule, confirm its label, rate and account on both the invoice row and the calculated totals. Correct the setup before approving a document when the result is unexpected.
