After adding a tax rate, where can you assign it to items or customers?

• A. In the Chart of Accounts.
• B. During item creation and customer profiles.
• C. In the Tax Center.
• D. When editing an item or customer, select the applicable tax rate.

Answer: (D)

The amount of tax you charge is determined by tying a tax rate to specific records—items or customers—so the rate can be applied automatically on transactions. After you create a tax rate in the Tax Center, you assign it to each item or customer by opening that item or customer’s settings and selecting the applicable tax rate. This direct pairing ensures the correct rate is used when selling that item to that customer. The Tax Center is for managing the rates themselves, not for permanently attaching them to individual items or customers. Chart of Accounts isn’t involved in tax rates, and while you can set a rate during item creation or in a customer profile, the decisive step is selecting the rate in the item’s or the customer’s tax settings.
