Default

Select this check box to set this tax type as the default. Only one tax type can be set as the default.

Accruable

Select this check box to identify this tax type as an accruable tax. Accruable taxes are not immediately remitted to tax authorities. These taxes accrue over many transactions but are paid at one time. An example is a sales tax that is collected over a month of transactions, and then remitted as one payment.

Recoverable

Select this check box to identify this tax type as a recoverable tax. A tax is recoverable if either a portion or all of the paid tax is reimbursed to your company. For example, VAT payments on raw materials (unfinished products) that will be completed and sold to another company or person are considered recoverable.
