Purpose

As a part of your spend manage setup, you will want to properly set your tax codes (rates). As you continue to manage your spend setup, you can create new tax codes and rates at any time in seconds – as soon as they are created they are available for use.  


Amex GBT's spend platform includes default tax codes relevant to your country, however, you may wish to edit the tax codes to align with the data presented within your finance system to simplify your transaction import during reconciliation.


Tip: If you have connected the platform to your finance system then your taxes will be automatically imported
