Create and Edit Taxability Override Sets

Creating and editing taxability override sets is a two-part process. First, you must create the taxability override set. Next, you must edit the taxability override set to include and configure the tax jurisdiction or jurisdictions to override.

Before You Begin: Customers must consult their Support teams to determine if a Taxability Override Set is allowed. During implementation, you must review all taxability codes before creating a new taxability override set. If none of the existing taxability codes fulfill your requirements, submit an inquiry to the Compliance queue for review.
