• Message number: 782

• Message text: Tax code & is still used in country & jurisdiction &

What causes this issue?

The tax code &V1& is still used in country &V2& jurisdiction &V3&.
When deleting the tax code &V1&, only the percentage rates maintained
are therefore deleted, and not, however, the definition of the tax code
itself (properties and description).
The properties of the tax code are dependent on the calculation
procedure used and not on the country. Several countries can use the
same calculation procedure.
When deleting a tax code which is not used any more in any other
country or in any other jurisdiction, the properties of the tax code
dependent on the calculation procedure are then also deleted.
