How the tax list is organized

Let's see how the different columns of the list are broken down:

• Checkbox  : The first column will show a symbol of a  "bookmark"   if that tax has not been edited. In case you edit it will go to show a "gray" box so you can select it and edit it.
• Name  : The  internal name  will appear (it does not appear in the PDF of the invoice) that will be shown when choosing the tax within the invoice.
• Value  : It is the  % applied to the tax  . It should always be in percentage format and not in total value. It will be used to calculate the amount based on the tax base of the invoice. For example, 21%, 10% and it is the value that will appear in the PDF of the invoice.
• Scope  : Taxes will be divided into 3 different  (Sales, Purchases, Employees)  . Depending on the area in which they are found, they  will appear only in those types of documents  .
• Key:   This code is the  internal code  of Holded and will help you to specify the type of tax when you import your invoices by excel. Learn to import your invoices in the section of the  Academy> First Steps.
• Group:   By default the following groups will appear:   VAT, Retention, Employees, Rec. Equivalence.  You can see a summary of the taxes to pay depending on the group within the  Billing> Taxes section  .
• Account: It   will appear  empty unless you edit the countable accounts assigned by default to edit the tax.
• Active: Green  (On),   Red  (Off). In case you deactivate it when creating an invoice, this tax will not appear.

VAT & IGIC:   In the event that when creating the Holded account you have specified that your company resides in  "Spain: Peninsula and Balearic Islands"  you will see the  list of Taxes with VAT.  If instead you have specified   "Spain: Canary Islands"   you will see the list of taxes with the  IGIC.  If you need to create new taxes we show you below.

How to edit the taxes in the list

In case you want to edit a tax created by default in Holded  it will only be possible to edit the account   to which the tax is assigned and activate or deactivate it. The other fields will be blocked so that the Tax Models are filled  in correctly.

• Tax  account  : Change the account or add a new one by entering the number and clicking "Add".
• Tax account (corrective):   Change the account  or add a new one by entering the number and clicking on "Add".

What is the use of changing the account?  It can be useful if in the previous program you worked with you will use a different accounting account to post each tax and you do not want to change the way you work.

How to create a new tax

In case you do not find the tax you need you can register a new tax that you can add to an existing group.

• Name  : Assigns a  name to identify  the tax when creating the invoice.
• Key:   Create a  Key  to add it in the tax column when importing invoices.
• Scope:  Select the type of document in which the tax will appear (Sales, Purchases, Employees = payroll).
• Type:    You can determine if you want  a% or a fixed amount to apply.  You can also choose the group option to  select other taxes and apply  at the same time in the same invoice when adding the tax created.
• Amount%:   Write the  number for the percentage or the total amount  , depending on the option you have chosen. If you have selected the option "Group" you will have to write the name of the taxes that you want to choose in the box and they will be registered.
• Tax accounts:  Select or create an  accounting account to assign the tax.
• Tax account (rectifying):   Select or create an  accounting account to assign the tax.
• Tax Group:   Select the tax group you want to be added to so that they can be classified and  find them easily when creating a new invoice.
• Status:   (On),   Red  (Off). In case you deactivate it when creating an invoice, this tax will not appear.

Manage groups:   Click on the "Manage Groups" button in the Taxes list to create  new tax groups  .
