Setup: VAT Rates
You must setup at least one Vat Rate. A Vat Rate of zero should be setup for transactions not subject to
VAT.
To Setup VAT Rates select
Setup / Vat Rate
from the top menu. A screen similar to the one below is
displayed
Some businesses may not have any Purchases for Resale e.g. a Service Business.
Enter the Purchases and Sales VAT Rates used in your business. Tick 'Active' to make a rate available for
data entry. For Sales you can also select a Default Vat Rate, this is the rate Sales Invoices will default to.
Changes to VAT Rates
As a general rule VAT Rates should be added rather than changed.
An existing rate can be changed rate if you are sure that there are no transactions in the system using that
rate for example after the Year End has been run when Allocations are Off.
When VAT Rates change you should add the new VAT Rate rather than change an existing one. This is
particularly important when a change occurs after the start for your Financial Year or when Allocations is
switched On as there may be transactions in the system that require the original rate.
When a VAT Rate is no longer in use uncheck 'Active' so it is not available when entering data.
For example the 20% rate is unchecked below and does not appear when Vat Analysis section of Sales
transactions.
