**Details**
User provides details and generates a sales tax settlement. User specifies the report by the **venue, store, group,** and then provides details such as **department** and **size**, and selects **consolidation by venue or store** and the date range which the sales are to be reported.
The user then can generate the report or download the CSV file. The generated report provides the **venue name, tax description (taxable, nontaxable, or exempt), number of items, net sales, tax 1, and tax 2 (if applicable).**
Some municipal jurisdictions support two tax rates for certain products (typically liquor tobacco etc), or as in the case on New York City there are state and local taxes of which local taxes are waived during one week of the year. This allows the system administrator to manage the two rate tables if needed. The rates are calculated linearly or they can be compounded if required. For example suppose an item is sold for $100 and the tax rates are 10% and 2%. If linear the tax would be calculated as tax =($100 \* (10% +2%))= $12 if compounded it would be tax =((($100\*10%)+100)\*2%)-100)=12.20.
**Additional Data :**
Data is populated on this report from the postransactions and postransactionsitemdetails tables.
**Access**
Access to this function at an enterprise level is limited by default to the System Administrator and Financial users only. Accounting, store managers, warehouse general managers as well as zone managers may view sales tax settlement report at Venues or Store assigned to them.
