Summary
This article describes how to use tax adjustments to apply tax corrections to existing transactions or services
Tax adjustments allow you to correct taxes on an account where an incorrect amount was applied or where there was a configuration error that has occurred. If an incorrect tax amount was applied to a debit transaction, you can use the tax adjustment option to apply the reconciled amount to balance the account correctly. If an incorrect amount of tax was credited to a user, you can use a credit tax adjustment.
