Override Default Tax Rate in SharpeSoft Estimator

Dylan C


This window is used to override the job tax rate only for the detail line you are currently working on.  As an example, this might be necessary if your job spans one or more counties using different tax rates for different bid items.


To change the tax rate, click Override tax rate and then enter the tax rate in the field on the right.  When finished, click OK.




This process is especially useful if you are working in or in relation to one of the handful of states that does not charge sales tax when purchasing construction materials. Additional reasons could be your materials were purchased in one state while the committed work was done in another state, with different tax rates. Whatever the reason is, SharpeSoft makes it quick and easy to change tax rates on the fly.


How to

  • Open the Bid Items window from the toolbar, or press Ctrl+B on your keyboard.


  • In the Bid Items window, select the bid item with a tax rate you wish to manipulate. Double-click until you reach the detail level view.


  • Once in the detail view, click on the Actions menu on the menu bar. Select Override Tax Rate for Detail Item and proceed.
