    Description The system displays the description.
    Customer Category Customer categories are maintained by your bank in the customer maintenance module. These could be categories like banking, corporate, brokers, financial institutions etc. You can choose the customer category for which the tax rule is being defined. You could also choose to define the tax rule for all categories of customers.
    Country Code You can apply specific tax rules based on the country of residence of the customer. Thus individual tax rules for each combination of customer category, country code with an effective date can be maintained. Select the country code for the customer from the option list. Based on the country of residence of the customer, specific tax rules can be applied.
    Tax Category Various Tax categories (open and authorized) are maintained in the system. Specify the tax category from the option list provided for the given Tax Rule. If the tax category is not maintained, then the tax booked under this Tax Rule will not be considered for tax waiver/tax allowance processing. However, normal tax processing, as it happens today in Oracle Banking Trade Finance, will continue to happen.
    Effective Date Every tax rule is associated with an Effective Date. On the specified Effective Date, the rule becomes applicable. When more than one rule is linked to a Tax Scheme, a rule will be applied till the next rule for the same component, with a different Effective Date, is encountered.
