Overview:

Managing VAT or tax rates on sales invoices is crucial for accurate financial reporting and compliance. When you create a Sales Invoice and add a Sales Invoice line item, the VAT/Tax rate is applied automatically. This process involves selecting the appropriate tax rate based on predefined settings within the system.

The VAT/Tax rate is determined by the system based on the “Default” tax rate configured in your settings. If a specific tax rate is not set for a customer, the system defaults to using the tax rate marked as “Default.” This automatic application ensures consistency and reduces manual errors when processing invoices.

To customise the VAT/Tax rate for individual customers, you need to configure the system by setting up specific tax rates on customer accounts. By adding a value to the “Tax Rate” field on the customer record, you can ensure that each customer’s invoices reflect the correct VAT/Tax rate as per their individual settings.

1. Add a value to the customer account for the “Tax Rate” field .

If not Tax Rate is found on the customer record, then the Tax Rate that is marked as default in the system will be used.

The VAT/Tax rate on a Sales Invoice line item is automatically set based on the system’s default tax rate configuration. If a specific tax rate is not defined for a customer, the system defaults to the tax rate flagged as “Default.” To enable customised tax rates for individual customers, you need to populate the “Tax Rate” field on each customer account. This configuration ensures that invoices reflect accurate VAT/Tax rates and helps maintain compliance with tax regulations.
