The following settings may be used to specify the tax rules by state for Tax Groups generated by Avalara. These registry settings trump the input options on the start function.
Setting Key: stateid~TaxSubcontract Setting Value: Y or N
Setting Key: stateid~TaxMaterial Setting Value: Y or N
Setting Key: stateid~TaxOther Setting Value: Y or N
Example: (for California)
Setting Key: CA~TaxSubcontract Setting Value: Y
The following registry setting can be used to set state-specific rules for Labor. This registry setting trumps the user input in the Labor Tax Selection field of the starter function.
Setting Key: stateid~TaxLaborSelect Setting Value: Tax Labor or Use AvalaraRule
If there is no registry entry (or if the Setting Value is Use AvalaraRule) the system will use the Avalara Rules to determine if Labor is taxable when the Tax Group is generated.
If the Setting Value of Tax Labor is implemented, the Tax Labor flag will be set in the Sales Tax Group. Note that there is a space between Sales and Tax in the Setting Value.
If there is a registry setting that has the setting value of ANYTHING other than "Tax Labor" or "Use AvalaraRule", it will NOT set the Tax Labor on the Group.
This setting allows you to specify the Tax Authority's sales tax liability account to be credited.
Setting Key: stateid~GLAccount Setting Value: GL Account Id
Example (for California)
Setting Key: CA~GLAccount Setting Value: 5100
