Sales Tax Holidays

If your business sells items that are subject to Sales Tax Holidays and you would like to participate, follow the steps below to enable Sales Tax Holiday rates.

Completing the Set-up Required to Apply Sales Tax Holiday Rates

Enabling the Sales Tax Holiday setting and updating your psCodes to a Sales Tax Holiday enabled psCode is a one-time task.

Please note that both steps below are required to enable the Sales Tax Holiday rates when applicable. Outside of the Sales Tax Holidays, these new psCodes will apply the regular state rate. Once these changes have been made, Sales Tax Holiday rates will automatically apply for your products/services moving forward.

Step 1: Enable your account for Sales Tax Holidays:

• Log into CereTax and navigate to Administration >     Settings
• Under the General tab, toggle Sales Tax Holiday to On

Step 2: Update psCode Mappings

Where your psCodes are mapped and need to be updated is dependent on your system and how you’re connected to CereTax. psCodes are generally stored in your system on the item record, mapped in CereTax, or included in your API request if you’re an API customer.

Important items to note:

• Bundles: if a Sales Tax Holiday eligible product is included in a bundle, Sales Tax Holiday rates are not applicable when included in bundles
• QuickBooks Online customers: mapping psCodes in CereTax is required, please review and update your psCodes in CereTax
