Sales Tax Payments-- Base Amount

Problem

When using Pay Bills to pay Sales Tax, the base amount does not include taxable shipping charges.

Caught By

Turtlesoft testing.

Workaround

None needed. The amount of sales tax collected (and paid to the tax agency) is correct. The only problem is in the display of the base amount, which is visible in the Pay Bills itemized breakdown, and in the itemized breakdown in the tax invoice.

Solution

Goldenseal accounting software version 4.3 changes the display of the Base Amount so it includes taxable shipping charges.

Technical Details

Programmer note: added new CSale::GetTaxBaseAmount method to calculate the base amount, and check whether shipping charges are taxable.
