Creating tax classes
Your task/initial situation
You use JTL-Wawi to sell goods for which you need a classification into specific tax classes. You would now like to add relevant new tax classes in JTL-Wawi.
Creating tax classes
Tax classes are the names of individual tax rates that you can create in this menu (e.g. standard tax rate, reduced tax rate, tax-free, etc.).
- Go to the Admin menu and select the menu item Taxes > Tax classes. The dialogue box Create/edit tax classes opens.
- Click New. Enter a suitable name.
- Under Type, choose a typification for the tax class. Each typification can be assigned to exactly one tax class. The exception is No typification, which can be selected several times.
Typification: Typification simplifies tax configuration. Once a typification has been assigned to a tax class and you create a new company for a shipping country, JTL-Wawi will check whether there is a typification for the specified tax class. With the typification, tax rates can then be allocated automatically. If this is not the case, for example if you did not assign a typification, you can always adjust the tax rates manually in the tax administration. Further reading on this topic:
