Or
The tax rate in customer file for specific rates for specific customers
Or
Put the Tax rate in the job for all tickets with that job number. (Make sure Job lock isn’t on or it might not let taxes calculate if there is no tax set up in the job)

When you add a ticket, click Calc at the bottom of the ticket screen. A sales tax additional charge with be automatically added to the ticket. You can also edit the amount at this time if needed.
