Configure financial settings that apply across quotes and orders — pricing rules, taxes, and multi-currency support.

Taxes

Navigate to Admin > Financial > Taxes to configure how Salesbuildr handles tax on quotes and orders.

The Taxes page has two sections:

  1. VAT/Sales Tax — the global calculation method and individual tax rates
  2. Taxes (federal surcharges) — country-level surcharges applied on top of the product price

Product-level tax settings (taxable toggle, VAT rate override) are configured per category in Admin > Categories.

VAT/Sales Tax calculation type

Use the VAT/Sales Tax calculation type dropdown to select how tax is calculated:

OptionDescription

Calculate Sales Tax in SalesbuildrTax is calculated using the rates you define below
Let [PSA] calculate Sales TaxDelegates tax calculation to your connected PSA (Autotask, ConnectWise, or HaloPSA) — the PSA-calculated tax is then pulled into Salesbuildr

PSA-specific options only appear if the corresponding PSA integration is configured.

Default VAT/Sales Tax rate

When using Salesbuildr-based calculation, select a Default VAT/Sales Tax rate to pre-apply to all new quotes. Individual products can override this via category-level settings.


VAT/Sales Tax rates

When the calculation type is set to Calculate Sales Tax in Salesbuildr, you can manage your tax rates directly.

Each rate has:

FieldDescription
NameDisplay name for the rate (e.g. "Standard VAT", "Reduced VAT")

CodeShort code used in PSA sync and reporting (e.g. NL21, GB20) — always uppercase

To add a rate, fill in the form at the top of the rates section and click Add. To update existing rates, edit the table inline and click Save. Delete a rate with the trash icon.


Taxes (federal surcharges)

Federal surcharges are country-specific taxes applied in addition to the product price. These are separate from VAT/Sales Tax rates.

Each surcharge has:

FieldDescription

CountryThe country this surcharge applies to
Add VATWhen enabled, VAT is also applied on top of the surcharge amount

To add a surcharge, fill in the form at the top of the section and click Add. Existing surcharges are listed in the table below and can be deleted with the trash icon.
