How to set up FL sales taxes

Question

Some FL counties have multiple layers of sales tax. Some of which are capped at a dollar amount. Is it possible to set up a tax that is up to an amount? Is it possible to have multiple taxes on one contract line item?

Hi Joe, 
 Great question! To get multiple taxes on to one contract item, you would need to add them to the same Tax Group. In Accounts Receivable, go to Setup, Taxes, Tax Rates and setup the IDs. Then go to Setup, Taxes, Tax Groups. You can setup a tax group for the lowest level - for example if you have city, county, and state sales tax, you could setup a group for the city, and add the city, county, and state tax to the group. 
 As far as the cap, you can setup separate contract items, one that is taxable and one that is not, and set the amount for the taxable item to match the cap.
