Tax Rate

G-E is designed in Australia for the Australian taxation system. This happens to be very similar in New-Zealand and the UK and indeed G-E is being used in these countries as well as the United Arab Emirates to name a few. The Tax Information utility is used to apply the appropriate tax percentage and "wording" to suit your country as well as the currency.

The Tax Information utility controls the tax percentage and the date that any new percentage is applied. The Australian figures and wording are set as the default. To apply the correct rates, currency and wording to suit your country, select Utilities from the Main Menu. Select Tax Information / Currency from the drop down menu. The Tax Information / Currency dialogue is presented:

Fiscal Year End (d/m)	Enter the date of the last day of your fiscal year. In Australia, this is 30th June. Ensure you enter the "/".
Business Id	The Business Identification is the name used for your business taxation number. In Australia, this is "ABN" (Australian Business Number). In New-Zealand, this is "NZ GST No.". In the UK, this is "VAT Reg No." The wording entered here is printed on invoices etc preceeding the actual number entered in "Workshop > Company Details".
