We have two US subsidiaries set up in our NetSuite account:
- Subsidiary A is taxable across all nexuses.
- Subsidiary B is non-taxable in all nexuses except California and Florida.
We want to configure the California and Florida nexus so that:
- When Subsidiary B is selected on a sales transaction, a non-taxable code is applied.
- When Subsidiary A is selected, the appropriate taxable code (based on ZIP code) is applied.
We are currently using the legacy tax setup in NetSuite (not SuiteTax).
We attempted to create separate tax codes and tax groups for each subsidiary with restricted applicability. However, when we run “Use State Sales Tax Table” to update tax rates for the nexus, the tax codes and tax group created specifically for Subsidiary B get overridden/updated and aligned with the parent Subsidiary A.
Question:
How can we structure this setup so that tax behavior remains subsidiary-specific, especially for California and Florida, without getting overridden by the Sales Tax State Table update?
Since the item master volume is quite large and the same is currently shared with subsidiaries, is there any alternate option other than maintaining subsidiary-wise item master with respective tax schedules?
Any guidance or recommended approach would be greatly appreciated.
