Create a New Tax Code Manually

Contact VUE Support to add a tax or to add additional states to the Vehicle Sales Tax GeoLocate function in VUE.

VUE is a permissions-driven system that tailors security access to suit each users needs.  Access to each menu item is managed by an Administrator at your dealership.  See the Help article on  Roles and Permission to learn how.

See the Permissions Reference Guide to understand what permissions to assign.

    WARNING - 

    The rules for each state's default are based on the details in the VUEs global tables. This deactivates the Customized Settings, and details are not editable. Checking the Customize Settings box allows for editing. It does not negate the rules applied; however, any adjustments made to alter what was pulled in by VUE's defaults moves the responsibility for the tax to the user since the user is controlling the tax’s behavior.

  • Marking the YES indicator applies the selected setting. 
    tax yes no
4.  To allow users to edit the tax rate from within the Deal or Desk, mark the
       User Override checkbox (only available when Custom Settings are employed).
