Generate Tax/Fee

Use this action to generate government tax/fee transactions that are associated to the selected transaction type as well as the policy type billed and its issuing location.

Although you can perform this action multiple times on the same transaction if necessary, Applied recommends that you do so only to generate additional taxes/fees, not to correct errors in a tax/fee that has already been billed on that transaction. If corrections are needed, reverse and regenerate the original tax/fee transaction instead.

Note: This article contains printing instructions that are only applicable if Applied Epic is installed locally on your computer. If you access Epic through a web browser such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Microsoft Edge, you cannot print directly from within the system. See Printing for more information about the printing capabilities available from Epic Browser. All other steps in this article are applicable to both methods of accessing Epic unless stated otherwise.
