The Report Designer view gives us an in-depth view of our Sales Tax report - from the data fields that comprise the report to the aesthetic formatting options available for use.
The Sales Tax Report has a pre-built content which includes tax scheme, tax group and tax components whenever the sales invoices and credit memos are available. The data source used, SalesTaxReportView, has already been set, the required data fields are already laid out and sorted, and the calculated fields in the summary group made available.
It's easy, fast and accurate, and all changes made from the tax components and tax schemes settings are immediately applied to the Sales Tax report data fields and calculated fields.
The Report Center Print Dialog box offers a wide array of options for printing the Sales Tax report, one of which is to print separate reports per tax scheme.
To elaborate, first we will view our whole Sales Tax report with all the tax schemes included. This, in itself, is a powerful feature indeed, as you can include all tax schemes with sales invoices and credit memos for returns for more comprehensive Sales Tax reports.
