Setting Up Fees

With fees, you can track money other than sales tax that you owe a government entity. Examples of fees include state tire fees and state tire tax. Fees require special handling to ensure the money collected is not included in your income. Like sales tax, fees need to be treated as a payable.

Note: Fee are not same as charges. A charge is an amount you collect from your customers for services, such as tire disposals, to cover your own costs. Charges are income.

Fees are usually set up as noninventoriable items. To classify an item as a fee, type the letter F in the Type (G, C, F, D) field on the Inventory Maintenance screen.
