Tax code mapping is Step 3 of the accounting integration setup process and applies only to Blackpurl dealerships in Australia and New Zealand. This step connects the tax codes configured in Blackpurl directly to the matching tax codes in Xero or QuickBooks Online, enabling you to use your accounting package's built-in tax reporting when lodging returns with your relevant tax office — such as a Business Activity Statement (BAS).
For the full accounting integration process, see Accounting Integration Setup: All Steps.
How Tax Code Mapping Works
Xero and QuickBooks Online for Australia and New Zealand support direct tax code mapping. Blackpurl takes advantage of this by letting you map each Blackpurl tax code to the corresponding tax code in your accounting package. Once mapped, transactions posted from Blackpurl carry the correct tax classification through to your accounting package automatically.
Your Blackpurl Activation Team will complete the tax code mapping on your behalf — you do not need to do this yourself.
The Tax Code Mapping Screen
The Tax Code Mapping screen lists all tax codes set up in Blackpurl and lets you map each one to the relevant tax code from your accounting package.
A. Sync button | Click Sync Tax Codes to pull the latest tax codes from your accounting package into Blackpurl. |
B. Last synced timestamp | Shows when the tax codes from your accounting package were last synced to Blackpurl. |
C. Blackpurl Tax Codes | Lists the tax codes currently configured in Blackpurl. |
D. Accounting package tax codes | Lists the tax codes available from your accounting package that can be mapped to each Blackpurl tax code. |
