## Overview

Withholding tax in the Italian version applies to third-party services and vendor purchases. The tax is calculated when the payment is processed, not when the invoice is posted. This section has two pages, one for setup and one for reporting.

Start with "Set Up Withholding Tax (IT)". It covers withholding tax codes, vendor withholding setup, tax calculation and payment processing. Once withholding tax is set up and payments are posted, use "Print withholding tax reports (IT)" to produce the Withholding Taxes report. The report lists the withholding taxes payable to the Italian government.

## Key points
