• If a Tax Name or rate is changed, then every Invoice that uses that Tax now shows the new Tax Name and rate. The Tax Amount and Booking Total does not change.
• If a new Item or Product is added to a booking, or an Item or Product is removed, then Taxes for all Items or Products on that booking are recalculated.
• If an Item or Product is edited, then Taxes are recalculated for that Item or Product.

Best Practice Refrain from changing existing Taxes with the exception of renaming a Tax. Instead, please: 1. Remove the current Tax from all Items 2. Create a new Tax with the new Tax rate This way, the new Tax is used going forward and the old Tax remains the same on existing Invoices.
