| • | You may Add, Edit,and Delete tax rates. |
| • | Tax Rate Changes. If your locality has had a tax increase, simply edit the current tax rate and enter the new tax rate. The new rate will take effect immediately. Old invoices will not be changed. |
Below the All Tax Rates section (see Tax Setup), choose Add or Edit and you will see a screen similar to this one.
