Tax Basis

The address LAWNSNOWAPP uses to determine which configured tax jurisdiction applies.

Why LAWNSNOWAPP asks for it

Service, billing, and company addresses can fall in different taxing jurisdictions.

How LAWNSNOWAPP uses it

LAWNSNOWAPP uses the selected address source when matching an invoice to saved manual-tax rules.

Example

Service Address bases tax on the property where the work is performed.

If you leave it blank

Tax remains not configured until the company selects a basis and supplies the necessary address data.

If you change it later

Future tax calculations use the new address source; finalized invoices are not repriced.

Financial, compliance, or safety note

Choose the basis that matches the company's professional tax guidance.

Common mistakes

  • Selecting a basis when the corresponding address is incomplete
  • Assuming the selection replaces jurisdiction setup
