# Taxes

The rates a repair line can be charged at, and the registration details that print on what you issue.

Repairs bills with tax like anything else, so the rates and your registration live here. Filing a return does not: that belongs to the app that files it.

Go to **Settings > Taxes**. Two tabs: **Tax Rates** and your tax's own settings tab.

![The Tax Rates tab of Taxes in Repairs Settings, headed Tax Rates above the line Manage tax rates applied to your transactions, with a blue Tax button at the right. A table with columns TAX NAME, RATE, STATUS and ACTIONS lists Zero Rate at 0%, Reduced Rate at 5% and Standard Rate at 20%, each marked Active.](https://www.sorviai.com/help/repairs/settings/taxes-rates.png)

*Two tabs here where the finance side has four: filing and the Construction Industry Scheme are not Repairs' job.*

## Tax Rates

The rates a document line can be charged at, each with a name, a percentage and a status. Making a rate **Inactive** keeps it off new documents while leaving it on the documents that already use it, which is what you want when a rate changes rather than disappears.

> **Tip:**
>
> **Mark a rate inactive rather than deleting it**
>
> Deleting is refused where the rate is in use, and the screen offers the inactive route instead. History that cannot explain its own tax is worse than a long list.

## The tax settings tab

Your registration, in one section.

*The VAT Settings tab, named for your own tax*

> **Note:**
>
> **The rates and the registration are shared with your whole workspace**
>
> There is one set of them for the organisation, not one per app. A rate you retire here stops being offered everywhere.
