:: California State Sales Tax Exemptions
8/29/01

To comply with the new California tax exemptions laws for the sale of Farm Equipment, Logging Equipment, Natural Gas and Race Horse Breeding, following are instructions on how to input sales to reflect this change in . Any sales for the above mentioned are now exempt from state sales tax but not from your local and county taxes.

First you will need to set up a new sales tax account called, Sales Tax- Farm Exempt.The account type will be a Liability and Current/Short Term. When you make a sales invoice for a customer that this exemption will apply to, make a separate invoice for all farm equipment or exempt items. You will need to manually change the sales tax percentage rate at the bottom of the sales invoice screen. Do this by highlighting the sales tax percentage and hold down the CTRL key then -4.75 and enter. Then release the CTRL key. This will subtract the 4.75% state portion of sales tax. Change the tax G/L account to the new account number you set up. You will now have a new sales tax percent that will apply to this sale. This tax rate and G/L number effects only this invoice.

You must follow these steps for each exempt invoice that is entered. Pacifica does not make this tax adjustment automatically.When you run your Sales Tax Quarterly Report, you will now see totals for both tax accounts.
