Set up the multi-country database using their own tax code

Updated over 2 months ago

Always set the country at the landing page before creating each company.

Important:

  • The SG tax code list can only be created if the country is set to SG before company creation.

  • There is no way to generate the SG tax code list after the company is created in another country.

  • Repeat the steps carefully for each country.
