# Preventing Sales without Tax Rates or Financial Accounts

You can easily prevent the sale of items that have no assigned tax rate and/or financial account from the **Invoice & tax** settings {{variable.OnTheAdminPanel}}.

These settings are a great way to ensure that everything you sell through {{variable.Nexudus}}, from {{variable.products}} to {{variable.bookings}}, is assigned a tax rate and/or a financial account for accounting purposes. 

It's also the simplest and quickest way to reduce {{variable.invoice}} transfer errors if you use one of our [accounting integrations](/v3/docs/accounting){target="_blank"}. 

:::(Warning) (Make sure you have [financial accounts](/v3/docs/financial-accounts){target="_blank"}, [tax rates](/v3/docs/tax-rates){target="_blank"} and a [chart of accounts](/v3/docs/chart-of-accounts){target="_blank"} set up before enabling these settings.)

1. {{snippet.FirstStepProcedure}}
2. {{variable.CLICK}} {{variable.InvoiceTax_Link}}.
3. {{variable.CLICK_ON}} the **Tax** tab. 
4. {{variable.TOGGLE_ON}} **Require all sales to have a defined tax rate**. 
5. {{variable.CLICK_ON}} the **Accounts** tab. 
6. {{variable.TOGGLE_ON}} **Require all sales to have a financial account**.
7. {{snippet.Save_Settings}}

* * *
All set! Any new item sale in {{variable.Nexudus}} will now require an assigned tax rate and/or a financial account. We recommend you have a quick look at your chart of accounts by clicking on the **Chart** tab to check that all items you sell through {{variable.Nexudus}} have a financial account and/or a tax rate assigned to them.
