Is a sales tax calculated based on the item in Netsuite

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

In NetSuite, sales tax is typically calculated based on the tax rate associated with the taxable total of line items on a sales order. This means that the tax rate is multiplied by the taxable total of line items to get the tax total. However, it's important to note that this calculation can be influenced by scripts or third-party applications like Avalara or TaxJar. In cases where different tax rates are required for different items or price thresholds, it seems that NetSuite does not natively support this functionality. One of the users in the conversation mentioned the possibility of creating a script to handle this, but it was generally advised against due to the complexity and potential issues that could arise. Instead, it was suggested to consider using a third-party tax software, despite the additional cost. For vendors that do not charge sales tax, one of the users suggested adding the tax to the vendor amount and then moving the tax amount using a GL plugin to remit to the tax authority. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
