Israel Tax Codes

Tax codes determine how much tax is due for each transaction line item. For NetSuite to calculate correct values on transaction records and tax reports, you must ensure that the tax codes for Israel are set up correctly.

For more information about tax codes, see Tax Code Properties and Creating Tax Codes.

Tax Code Table for Israel

The following table shows the tax properties required to correctly generate the Israel Tax Reports. The tax code names, or letters presented in the table, are suggested names or default system preferences. You can rename the tax codes. Tax reports identify transactions by looking at the tax code properties, not the tax code names.

To define VAT Codes:

  1. Go to Setup > Accounting > Tax Codes.

  2. Click New Tax Code.
