CCHSureTax contains the provider/consumer rules for when a tax should or can be passed on to the consumer.
The pass-through tax override allows you to change the default configuration of provider-based versus consumer-based taxes, thus controlling when a tax is returned to a customer in the calculation process. All taxes that are designated as pass through taxes are computed in the tax calculation process, but kept in a distinct repository for review and analysis and not sent through to the CCHSureTax reports. These taxes are kept separate from the repository used for the standard tax calculations.
By default, the system passes through all taxes, fees, and surcharges that are designated as "Pass-Through – Required" as well as "Pass-Through – Optional."
