VAT Calculation

Post by irie1 »

Hi,

I've recently downloaded and am evaluating V1.9.6.560, and I like most of what I've seen so far.

As to calculating VAT though, when I set the tax rate to 15% (the VAT rate in my country) with "Taxes included in prices" checked in Property Settings, and then "sell" an item priced at $11.50, the summary on the customer receipt shows the VAT as $1.72.

This works out to a rate of 17.2% of my intended selling price - $10.00 before VAT.

I can "work around" this problem by setting the Tax rate at 13% (which is actually the VAT fraction), so the calculation is correct except the VAT is printed as 13% on the receipt.

Any plans to change this?

Wow!

With such a prompt response I can see why other posters have been impressed with the support for the product.

My country is Trinidad & Tobago.

We have two VAT rates - Standard 15% and Zero rated and also exempt.

As far as I am concerned at this time, getting the programme to calculate the VAT as I explained earlier is what I am looking for.

Thanks again for the speedy reply (and promise of a solution)

p.s. I did, in the interim, edit out the Tax Rate from the Bill Configuration, so the printout was no longer erroneous.
