Vertex Users

GEO CODE is a Vertex construct that defines the tax jurisdiction for all taxes. It is comprised of three elements, separated by hyphens. 18-025-1296 is an example of a GEO Code which represents the following structure:

18-000-0000 is the state level (in this case Kentucky) which can be used to tax only at state level

18-025-0000 is the county level (in this case Breathitt County) which can be used to tax only at county level

18-025-1296 is the city level (in this case Jasckson, Kentucky) which would be used to tax at the city level.

You do not need to identify tax jurisdictions down to the finest level, if there is no local (county and city) taxation. For example, 44-281-0241 is the city level GEO Code for Adamsville, Texas in Lampasas county, but we could simply use 44-000-0000 (State of Texas) for this location or employee for taxation purposes as there is no county or city level taxation

Vertex provides a complete list of all the GEO Codes in a file that can be loaded into the P2K_CM_TAX_JURISDICTIONS table using the process described in UDTX.

Symmetry Users

GNIS code is the Symmetry version of the Vertex GEO code.

GNIS Code Format is: SS-CCC-FFFFFFF, where:

SS	State FIPS Numeric Code	2 digits
CCC	County Code	3 digits
FFFFFFF	City Feature ID	Variable Length, 4 to 7 digits

The GNIS Code forms a unique combination of State, County, City, Municipality and School Districts that will be used in the system.

Each combination of State, County, City, Municipality and School Districts will form a tax jurisdiction that is eligible for tax calculation when an employee is being paid under this tax jurisdiction
