For each account that you would like to use as a deduction, you need to enter

• Account type (default G/L account)

• Account No.: the number of the account to be debited with the deduction.

• Calculation type: select Percent or Amount.

• Deduction Percent: optional, if you want to apply a standard percent when the code is selected on a reconciliation.

If you will be processing withholding tax for creditors:

• Set the Withholding Tax switch to ON.

• Select a Withholding Tax provision account type

• Select a withholding tax provision account number
