How do I do this.

Hello Henk,
Great that you solved it. At first it looked a bit complicated. Henk, please specify exactly how you set up your tax groups, to help others with the same problem.

Best regards

My english is good, but my vocabulary not yet complete. I was mislead by the word exempt. on taxes, i have to exempt the other percentage. And visaversa. ITS WORKING!! thanks for the directions Joe!

Hi Joe,

I followed your hints. Right... Calculation goes correct. but only for the total price.
I still am doing something wrong. I guess.

Alright, I have an order which contains 2 items. 1 item has 19% VAT, the second one 6%. All my item prices are excluding vat.

So the prices of the items are:
item 1, amount of 2, price total 400 excl. 19% vat
item 2, amount of 2, price total 264 excl. 6% vat
This program calculates the following vat:
19% of 646 = 122.74
6 % of 646 = 38.76
But i need:
19% of 400 = 76 euro
6% of 264 = 15.84 euro.

Sorry, here in holland we use 2 vat percentages. By law food and drinks are 6%, all other 19%. International services within eu, 0%. And in 2008 we get a fourth tac percentage. Just making it all easier.

I defined a group tax 'the netherlands' and linked the 2 taxes (6% and 19%) with it.
item 1 is linked to 19% and item 2 to 6%.
And the above text is the result.

Hope you still can help.

Thanks,

Henk.

Hello,
First you setup your various vat rates. Then you build your vat groups. This is an easy way of then using the correct taxgroup on the customers/Items.
I hope this gives a meaning to you, otherwise can someone from holland help him a bit, please.

Hi All,

This project looks very good. But i got one question.
How is the vat calculated?
Here in holland we have 2 rates. 19% and 6%.
400 euro's excl. vat with a rate of 19% should give us 76 euro's vat and whole sale comes on 476 euro's.

When i do this in your software, the vat calculated comes to 98.19 euro's.

Am i doing something wrong?

Hope you can help me.

Thanks,

Henk.
