Product tax codes

Learn how to add a product tax code to an item.

By default, Tax Determination uses the item name or number in NetSuite to determine the correct tax rate. You can use a product tax code (PTC) to apply a different tax rate.

Note: The Sovos PTC field will override the item name or number in the tax calculation request to Tax Determination. If the Sovos PTC field is empty, the item name or number will be used instead.

Add a product tax code to an item

Go to Lists > Accounting > Items.
Click Edit in the item's row.
Enter the product tax code in the Sovos PTC field.
If the Sovos PTC field is not on the item form, you have to add it to the form.
Click Save.
