Sometimes, expenses have more than one tax applied to them. In Canada, for example, expenses can have both a Federal GST and a provincial PST or QST. Expensify has a special method for handling these by creating a single tax that combines both taxes into a single effective tax rate. This can be applied to any Individual or Group policy.
To set up multiple taxes for your indirect connection, follow these steps:
- Navigate to Settings > Policies > Individual or Group > [Policy Name] > Tax.
- Add your tax rates. If you need additional tax rates, click "New Option".
- If you have a multiple tax scenario, combine these into a single tax rate. For example, if you have a GST of 5% and PST of 7%, adding the two tax rates together gives you the effective tax rate of 12%:
Now you've got your multiple tax set up!
