• You can edit the paragraphs that appear in tax notices and tax statements. You need to be an Administrator.
• You can edit the paragraphs through a combination of entering text and inserting field variables from a list of options.

• Field variables automatically insert text into the tax notice and tax statement paragraphs. For example, there's a field variable that inserts the current due date.

• Most paragraphs include default text, but editing the paragraphs lets you customise the wording to suit your practice.
