The Extract tax toggle controls whether Dext extracts tax information from costs and sales documents. You can find it in Business settings > Extraction > Tax.
By default, Extract tax is on in all regions except the USA.
What the toggle does
On - Dext extracts tax information from all costs and sales documents submitted after the change.
Off - Dext doesn't extract tax from future document submissions. This is useful for VAT-exempt or non-VAT registered businesses.
The toggle only affects documents submitted after you change the setting. It doesn't affect documents already in your inbox.
Exceptions
2 things still apply even when Extract tax is off:
Supplier rules - if you've set supplier rules that pre-complete tax information for specific suppliers, these still take effect.
Line item extraction - still picks up tax when it's present on a document.
