Taxes

CDR2Cloud Tax Module allows you to define one or more Taxes which are then applied to a Tax Category. A Tax can be defined as a Percentage Tax (%) or as a Fixed Tax:

CDR2Cloud also allows you to specify if a Tax should be applied to different category of charges such as Calls, Non-Call Items & Shipping.

A Tax when created has no use o its own and must be applied to a Tax Category which then gets assigned to the customer account. A Tax when applied to a Tax Category is assigned a Stacked Order which indicates if the Tax should be treated as a Straight Tax or a Stacked Tax.
