This article will provide the option of having a Trade In Tax Limit so that the sales tax credit for trade-ins will not exceed the sales tax for the unit/s being purchased by the customer


For example:

  • Mr. Smith is buying a new unit and the Sales Tax payable on that new unit is $250


  • Mr. Smith is trading in a unit and the Sales Tax credit on that unit is $275


  • The Dealership cannot have the Sales Tax credit ($275) exceed the Sale Tax payable ($250) and in this example, it will exceed it by $25



The option of setting up a Trade In Tax Limit will stop the above scenario from occuring

To enable, move the toggle and there will now be a limit on the amount of sales tax calculated for trade-in

The sale tax credit for trade-ins will now not exceed the sales tax for the new units being sold
