Overview

You want to know how to prevent specific transactions from being sent to Avalara AvaTax from NetSuite.

Environment

NetSuite Basic

NetSuite OneWorld

Resolution

• You will need to create your own tax code. To create a tax code in NetSuite, go to Setup > Accounting > Tax Codes > New.
• Select a tax code (new or other than AVATAX or -Not Taxable-) on the transactions which you don't want to post to AvaTax.
• Ensure that the 'Tax Amount Override' check box is not selected.

Note: Using custom tax codes, the AVATAX tab of the invoice will display errors such as... 

• 'This Document has not used AvaTax Services for Tax Calculation. Taxcode selected is not an AVATAX Taxcode'
• 'Taxcode is not set to AVATAX or the Tax rates are not equal to zero for all the line items'.
