Problem
Auditor suggests that RecTrac is not calculating Sales tax according to Florida tax rates/laws. Does RecTrac allow for Florida Tax Rules?
Solution
Yes. In any version of RecTrac 3.1, go to Module Management and select 'Florida' as your Tax Option for all applicable modules. See also Knowledge Base entry 3293.
In RecTrac 10.3, you need to be running RecTrac 10.3m or greater. A 'Use Florida Tax Rules' toggle is available in Tax Table Maintenance (Files > System > Finance Codes Maintenance > Tax Tables Maintenance).
Note: When using the Florida Sales tax rules, you CANNOT use the Total Price Option on your fees in either version of RecTrac. In 3.1, if your total tax percentage is greater than 8.5, the system will default to Gross Tax. Gross Tax is calculated as: (Price x Quantity) x Tax.
