Depending on the finance package you are integrating with there may be an additional field specific to that integration that needs to be set for the tax code. Code For Twinfield, Code For Sage or Xero Tax Code would need to be set to match the code used in the financial package. If you need to enable this integration contact the support team at [email protected] or use the support button in the application.
