Maintain Office Tax Groups

The Maintain Office Tax Groups routine allows the user to assign Tax Groups to Firm Offices. Tax Groups are established through the Maintain Tax Groups routine, and Offices are established through the Maintain Offices routine. This routine should be used with caution, as it will affect all Billing amounts and procedures.

When the Maintain Office Tax Groups routine is accessed from the eQuinox main menu, the screen shown below will be displayed.
