There is also a link to help manage special line items per location. These are pre-set values such as D&H, collected shipping, and other flat fees or taxes. That page has its own help files.

23. Tax Information - All tax fields must have numbers such as 6.9 or 2.05, etc. The other fields are there incase you wish to record the actual tax id numbers for later reference. Each location has the option of setting up five other taxes that need to be collected. These fields are not required but are allowed for special taxes. Type the name of the tax in the title field (max of 50 chars), fill in the correct percentage, and click on the boxes to what the tax needs to be applied. Taxes will be calculated on invoices and other sales done out of the system.

Special note about Rental taxes. These taxes are a special flat rate tax. All of the state, county, and city taxes will be set to 0.00, but if you specify a rental tax, just that amount will be applied. Say you need a 10% rental tax, enter the name rental tax and set the amount to 10. Then click the rental checkbox. When a person does a rental, the only tax that will be applied is the 10% regardless if the state, county, and city taxes have positive values. It is somewhat of a stand alone tax rate.
