***

### **Purpose of the Feature**

* This feature ensures that **discounted items** remain **tax-inclusive**, preserving the integrity of tax calculations.
* It prevents pricing mismatches by moving **zero-value adjustments** (caused by discounts) to a **specific tax field**.

***

### **Understanding the Parameters**

You will find **three selectable parameters** under this setting:

1. **None**
   * No inclusive tax field is selected.
   * **No adjustment** is made to any tax field.
   * Used when zero-value amounts should not affect tax fields.
2. **Tax 1 / Tax 2 / etc.**
   * Selects which **inclusive tax field** should absorb the **zero-value adjustment** caused by discounts.
   * Ensures that tax remains proportionate and compliant even after applying cash discounts.

***

### **Understand Inclusive Tax Structure**

* Navigate to **Setup\Setup Taxes** and click to "**Setup Tax Types (Sale)".**
* Review the **inclusive tax types** configured in the system.
* You’ll find:

### Implement **with Parameter Set to "None"**

* Go to the billing screen.
* Apply a **cash discount (e.g., 5%)** on a tax-inclusive item.
* Go to the **View Total** screen.

  * Tax is calculated in **inclusive mode** (appears as negative adjustment).
  * No zero-value adjustment is made in any tax field.
  * The discount does **not reduce any specific tax field**.

* Save and reopen the billing screen.

***

### **Apply Discount and Observe Behavior**

* Apply a **5% cash discount**.
* Click **Save**.
* In the **View Total** screen:
  * The **Tax 2** field is **reduced to zero**, reflecting the discounted amount adjustment.
  * The system recalculates the remaining tax fields proportionately.
  * Ensures the **net amount and tax liability remain accurate**.
