If you need to include a tax type on your invoices, head to Finance ➞ Invoicing ➞ Tax Types. Click on the + button to begin.

You will need to name the tax type and can optionally add a description. You also need to add in the percentage that the tax will deduct from the items.

In order for a tax type to be used, it must be assigned to a service contract type. To do this, head to Clients ➞ Service contract types and select the contract type you need. Within, scroll down the billing section where you will see a dropdown menu called tax types. Select the tax type you need and click save.

In order for the Xero integration export file to work, there must be a tax type in the service contract. See here for more information.
