Exempt Reason

This option allows you to set up reasons why accounts and subscribers are exempt from a particular tax authority. Account exemptions are applied to individual accounts in account setup; subscriber exemptions are applied to subscribers in Customer Service (while entering a new start). Publications can be flagged as exempt from all taxes in publication setup (see Publication). Or, they can be flagged as exempt from certain tax authorities (see Tax Authority Publ).
