Update the Minimum Tax Field in Tax Year Settings

The minimum tax amount for a billing category, such as Motor Vehicle (MV) excise, has changed and users are unable to update the Tax Year Setting to reflect the new minimum amount.

• Property Tax Billing

• Tax Year Setting (txyrparm)

• Real Estate Billing 

• Personal Property Billing 

• Motor Vehicle Excise

• Boat Excise

Sometimes the minimum tax amount for a specific billing category changes and needs to be updated in the Tax Year Setting to reflect the new minimum amount.

Once bills are created for a Tax Year Setting, the minimum tax field cannot be updated. Tax Year Settings also cannot be deleted after bills are created for and associated with that Tax Year Settings.

Duplicating a Tax Year Setting copies the minimum amount from the Tax Year Setting being copied. 

If a Tax Year Setting has already been copied, but bills have not been created yet, delete the Tax Year Setting and add a new Tax Year Setting with the desired minimum tax amount instead of duplicating. 

If no Tax Year Setting has been copied, simply add a new Tax Year Setting with the desired minimum tax amount. 

• Support advises taking a screenshot of the prior Tax Year Setting and the installment tab to use as reference in creating new record with an updated minimum tax amount. 

• For additional assistance please call tax support for the appropriate region.
