items.

If using both procurement and expenses, account for purchase items and expense items. You
design a country tax rule that focuses only on the tax status of the company
transaction. That rule might match on both supplier invoices and expense
transactions and use the associated item tax rule.
You can associate your tax rules for items with tax rules for countries.
