How to Track Sales Tax
You may calculate how much sales tax is owed for all items delivered during a specific time period by using the Past Deliveries ($) report where breakdown is by "Items". Once you have downloaded and opened the CSV file in a spreadsheet program, such MS Excel, take the following steps to determine the amount of sales tax owed:
- Add a column to the end at the right and enter a formula to convert the tax rate listed to a percentage, i.e. "=D7/100" (This is highlighted in pink below)
- Add another column to the end at the right and enter a formula to calculate sales tax based on total sales for that item, i.e. "=B7*E7" (This is highlighted in yellow below)
- Calculate the sum of column E.
