Adding a Single Tax District
There are two types of tax districts that may be added to the tax district database: single and combined. A single tax district has only one tax rate. A combined tax district is made up of two or three single tax districts that are used jointly to calculate tax. For more details concerning tax districts, see About Tax Districts.
Note: Combined tax districts can only be created using existing tax districts.

From the eNsite toolbar, select Databases, then Tax Districts or

in the Customer window.
2 Click Add in the Tax District window. The Tax District Detail dialog box opens.
3 Enter the number for the new district in the District box. You can enter up to four characters.
4 Enter a description of your choice for the new tax district in the Description box. You can enter up to 15 alphanumeric characters.
5 Enter the dollar limit (tax cap) on the amount you can tax, if any, in the Cap box. For example, to limit the taxable amount to $2000, enter 2000.
6 Enter the tax percentage in the Percent box.
For taxable districts in your state, enter the percentage paid over the state base.
For taxable districts outside your state, enter the total tax percentage.
For nontaxable districts, enter 0.000.

You can click Line Item Cap on Unit Price if you want the tax district to apply to the tax rate by each line if the district is composed of more than one district. If you click the Multi-Tier Line Item Cap on Unit Price, this allows you to tax a different tax percent on an item based on sell price.
