This topic provides information about the elements in this window in Visma Net, such as fields, field values, buttons, and check boxes.

## What to do from this window

+ [Activate and set up excise duty](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/excise-duty/enable-and-set-up-excise-duty/index.md)

## The top part

Fill in the values below as provided by [Skatteetaten](https://www.skatteetaten.no/bedrift-og-organisasjon/avgifter/saravgifter/) [Punktskatter](https://skatteverket.se/foretag/skatterochavdrag/punktskatter) [Punktafgifter](https://skat.dk/erhverv/afgifter-paa-varer-og-ydelser-punktafgifter) [Excise duties](https://www.vero.fi/en/businesses-and-corporations/taxes-and-charges/excise-taxation/#:~:text=Excise%20duties%20are%20levied%20on,%28products%20released%20for%20consumption) [Excise duty](https://business.gov.nl/regulation/excise-duty-consumption-tax/#art:excise-duty). Once a duty type and group combination is used, it can not be deleted.

The code for duty group. The division into different duty groups within the individual tax type is primarily justified by the fact that, in many cases, it is necessary to divide the scope of goods with different rates within the same tax type.
