How do I set up the taxes for my country?

Set your country and business type in Setup → Organization, then let BusinessSensor draft your taxes: sales tax such as VAT or GST at the local rate, withholding tax and payroll deductions. You check the list; nothing is created until you click Import.

Steps

  1. In Setup → Organization, set your Country and Business Type.
  2. Go to Products & Services → Items and click AI-suggest taxes (top right, next to New item).
  3. Optionally pick your legal form, then click Suggest taxes. Review each tax and check its Rate %.
  4. Click Import. Each tax gets its tax authority as a vendor and its payable (and, for VAT, recoverable) account.

Good to know

  • Without a country the list falls back to a generic one, which is rarely useful.
  • The rates are a draft for you to confirm, not tax advice.
