Taxation laws differ from country to country. To be able to calculate the tax incurred and also the subsequent billing correctly, you have to be able to represent the former by different taxation methods in the system.

As soon as a dealer acquires a used vehicle, whether by purchasing it or taking it as a trade-in, the taxation method required for this vehicle takes effect. In some cases, the taxation method can be different and has to be adapted to the vehicle. If the vehicle is sold later, this note regarding determination of the correct tax amount with respect to the vehicle item has to be taken into consideration both on the invoice and in any dealings with the tax authority.
For further information on margin taxation, see Standard and Margin Taxation.
