Financing
You can put a tax on a source, and you know it works the same way it does on a budget account.
Not all incoming money is tax-neutral. A distributor advance is usually invoiced with VAT; a public subsidy usually is not. The **Taxes** panel is where that distinction is recorded.
In the **Source Details** panel.
The list is the **linked budget's** tax definitions. The panel's settings icon opens them if the rate you need is not there.
Choosing a second replaces the first, exactly as on a budget account. One line of money, one rate.
If a source genuinely attracts two rates, it is two sources — and splitting it is the accurate way to record it.
**Enter the amount net.** The tax is worked out on the source amount, so the **Amount must be the net figure**. Entering a gross number and then applying a tax counts the tax twice.
At a full refund, tax changes no total — which makes applying it look optional. It is not.
Applying it is what puts this money's VAT into the **cash flow**, timed by the same rule that times the money itself, and netted against the rest once per reporting interval. An untaxed source keeps the financing total right and gets the cash wrong.
Give it a [cash flow rule](/kb/article/set-a-cashflow-rule-on-a-source) so the timing lands somewhere.
**Removing it.** Choose the delete entry in the dropdown. Nothing else depends on it, so clearing a tax never warns.
