# Manage Taxes

Elorus allows you to **Edit**, **Delete**, and **Archive** any taxes you have created.

## Edit taxes

To edit a tax, go to the main menu and select **Settings > Taxes**, choose the desired tax from the list, and click **Edit** on its view page.

Fields that cannot be modified

If a tax is associated with a document, some fields will not be modifiable (e.x. Tax percentage).

## Delete taxes

To delete a tax, go to **Settings > Taxes**, select the desired entry from the list, then click **Edit > Delete** on the tax view page.

To delete multiple taxes **in bulk**, select them from the list and then click **Actions > Delete selected**.

Inability to delete a tax associated with saved documents

A tax cannot be deleted if it is associated with any saved documents. In such cases, you can archive it instead by following the steps below.

## Archive

To archive a tax, go to its view page (as described above), click the **three dots (...More**), and select **Archive record**.

Similar to bulk deletion, you can archive multiple taxes **at once**. Select the desired entries and choose **Actions > Archive selected**.

*Example of archiving a tax*

Suppose the VAT rate changes by law. In this case, you should archive the existing VAT tax and create a new one with the updated rate. This ensures that all new documents apply the correct VAT and helps prevent accidental use of the outdated rate.

## Activate archived taxes

Click the icon shown in the image below to view all archived taxes:

From there, you can:

- **Activate a single tax**: Go to the tax view page, click the **three dots (... More)**, and select **Activate record**.
- **Active multiple archived records in bulk**: Select the desired entries from the list, then click **Actions > Activate selected**.
