Cant apply TAX LIABILITY in one company but i can i another

1

I have to companies in one the tax liabilities account i can choose on the invoice when creating a purchase invoice directly but in another company i cannot select this account, how can i do to apply directly to the tax liability account.

Adding a little bit of context, my country requires for us to pay taxes on imports, so when we receive imports, we pay the sales tax of 15% over the value of the mechandise, that becomes a sales tax credit on our account, when we sell, those sales taxes we charge of the same 15% of the value of goods sold we debit the tax liability account. so we enter those taxes paid upon imports by entering a purchase invoice paid to the tax autority on the value of the sales taxes paid i can do that perfectly in one company and have been doing it for 5 years, i have a new company and i cant input this tax liability account on the purchase invoice screen

Hi @gerardo

It’s a good thing you provided screenshots, since I can now understand your issue a bit more clearly.

First, the account works differently because they were setup differently:

  • The screenshot to the right shows an ordinary balance sheet account which can be used like any other account

  • The screenshot to the left shows a Control Account for Tax Codes, which is the recommended way to apply taxes.

You can refer to these guides to understand how Tax Codes work:

Now regarding what you were doing, you can demonstrate your process with some screenshots in order to get more relevant answers

Different businesses (please use Manager terminology, it does not use the term Company are to be setup as distinct in Manager. Manager does not ever combine their results. I noticed feedback from @Ealfardan that would make sense within a single business, but you seem to want to report on two distinct ones together and that is impossible in Manager.
