Sales tax starts with making sure the vendor is set up correctly.  Data Files > Vendors:  Assign your home county to all vendors EXCEPT:

  • Select the “NO TAX” box on the vendor screen for out-of-state vendors not charging sales tax.  Choose “No Tax” as the Tax County.
  • Use the county code “Not Applicable” for vendors where tax doesn’t apply – for example teacher reimbursement.
  • Use the county code “Dept. Revenue” for the NC Department of Revenue.  Also select the Vendor Code of “DOR” under Vendor Codes.
  • Use the vendor’s actual county code when picking up goods outside your home county.


NO TAX:   Check this box for out-of-state vendors that do not charge sales tax for items deemed taxable by your state.  Choose “No Tax” as the Tax County. The No Tax Payments Report is available to print tax due for payments made to vendors with this designation.
