Step 3) Now you need to enter tax code key V5 which is you like to create.

Step 4) On maintain tax code initial screen, update

Tax code description as 5% Input Tax.
Tax type as V (Input Tax).

Step 5) On Maintain Tax codes: tax rates screen, update the tax percentage rate for input tax.

Note: – Here under percentage rate, only three tax types are displaying i.e. Base amount, Input tax and Output tax, other tax types are not displaying to update the tax percentage rates. This is because, we have defined tax procedure with condition types of Base amount, Input and output tax. You need to maintain condition types under tax procedure as per the organization requirements. Further you are allowed to update other tax rate like excise duty, etc in tax codes.
