Hi all, our business is based in Australia and we have a pretty heavily customised system where we essentially are just using journals to reflect sales. We are setting up a US subsidiary and have found that US subsidiary journals currently cannot have tax applied to them (screenshot 2) like we can in our AU sub (screenshot 1). Does anyone know if this is possible via SuiteTax or any other means? Our Netsuite partner (who is also based in AU) has so far not been able to find clarity so I thought I'd ask a broader audience with members in here based in the US. Thanks in advance!

Shot in the dark: under the old tax model, if you went to the Subsidiary record, Nexuses subtab, you could add foreign countries and gain some functionality that might not otherwise work, though I don't remember specifically if getting those tax fields to show up on JEs is one of them. Never touched SuiteTax, so I have no clue if it uses some of that same functionality, but probably worth 2 minutes of your time to check if that does anything. Might get lucky. Definitely do so in a Sandbox first. I don't know what all might be affected by adding Nexuses there.

Hi @RJMNS thanks for your response. We've setup the nexus for Florida already along with the country set to United States. Unfortunately no luck there getting it showing on JEs though. Will have to keep on digging

do you have your other tax setting configured? under Taxes? do i assume correctly all your tax boxes on the JE form itself are checked?

Technically you can have the tax code field in JE. As @Karina mentioned check your entry form. Other wise custom GL line plugin can facilitate that.

on the other hand in the U. S, I do not recall these features populated - for the reason of the necessity to have a 9 digit zip code for the proper tax rates. journals do not have it. VAT is calculated differently from the U. S. tax rates where you must you specific address to have all tax rates (state, county, city, else) populated

Same for Canada too, no tax code for JE

Thanks @Karina & @Sam-I-Am. It does turn out that you can't have the tax columns on US journals. We ended up deciding to add the extra lines ourselves rather than relying on the tax columns. We can simulate the same result we're looking for. Cheers

have you looked into custom GL line plugin it can do that
