8. If necessary, check the Vendor Reimbursed Discount box. This setting is used in specific rare circumstances where a vendor is reimbursing you for discounts you offer on that vendor's products, and where your local tax code considers this reimbursement to be taxable revenue. Learn more about Vendor Reimbursed Discounts and consult an accountant or tax professional to determine if this is appropriate.
