      <Paragraph>Use the North American
		tax-handling sessions to implement the interface between LN and a <Link href="/baanerp/tc/glossary/glossary#000013" role="glossary">tax provider</Link>. LN supports the
		tax-provider application Vertex "O" series for Sales and Use Tax.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>The tax provider computes the tax amounts and provides tax
		registers for auditing and tax reporting of transactions with ship-to addresses
		in the countries that you enter in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/tax/tctax6103m000" role="session">Countries for Destination Sales Tax (tctax6103m000)</GUIRef> session.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>When you generate the
		final invoices in <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ci" role="package">Invoicing</GUIRef>, the tax provider tax register is updated automatically. The
		tax amounts are calculated per invoice line rather than per invoice. In
		addition, the tax provider calculates the tax amounts for invoices created
		manually in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ci/sli/cisli2120s000" role="session">Manual Sales Invoice Data (cisli2120s000)</GUIRef> session.</Paragraph>
      <List>
         <ListIntro>If you activate the tax-provider interface, the following LN functionality is not
		  applied to those transactions:</ListIntro>
         <ListItem>Tax exemption
		  processing.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Multilevel tax
		  processing.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Tax-rate selection and
		  tax computation. These functions are carried out by the tax provider.</ListItem>
      </List>
      <Paragraph>For transactions with
		ship-to addresses in countries other than the countries entered in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/tax/tctax6103m000" role="session">Countries for Destination Sales Tax (tctax6103m000)</GUIRef> session, LN computes the tax in
		the normal way.</Paragraph>

            <ListIntro>If you already use LN, you can start using a tax provider:</ListIntro>
            <ListItem>At month end after
			 closing your financial period</ListItem>
            <ListItem>Before processing
			 begins for the current period</ListItem>
         </List>
         <Paragraph>However, it is
		  recommended that you start using a tax provider at quarter end to facilitate
		  tax reporting.</Paragraph>
