VAT / GST Type Tables Manuals

The reason for VAT tables is to make it easy when analyzing the VAT report.

Descriptions of the various VAT types can be edited to suit your wording preference and to make it

easier for staff to identify which table apply to respective documents.

Go to System Configuration>General> VAT Tables

Click on VAT Tables and search

 A list of added Vat Types will be displayed

 Double click on the specific table you wish to amend

VAT Types - Upon the processing of documents, where vat is required, the drop-down menu will show the relevant VAT Type options.

When a block is ticked, the associated VAT table option will be displayed on the drop-down menu of the Vat Type field when processing the respective documents.

If you do not want this VAT table to be an option on the drop-down, un-tick the block and the VAT option will not be displayed when processing the document.

In this way the ticks can be effectively used to avoid staff from unknowingly choosing the incorrect VAT type when processing a specific document or transaction, thereby eliminating confusion on the VAT report.
