To make it clear please note that.. where it says in the above post

In Item Tax Types

VAT@1%             (VAT@1%  is unchecked, others are selected in the Is exempt column)
VAT@5%             (VAT@5%  is unchecked, others are selected in the Is exempt column)
VAT@13.5%     (VAT@13.5%  is unchecked, others are selected in the Is exempt column)

Hope that help to understand better.

Hi Elax,

I don't know what i have done to my tax setup. The current structure is as follows.

In the tax types, i have the following setup

VAT@1%              1.0             2150 Sales Tax @1%     2145 Purchase Tax @1%        
VAT@5%              5.0             2151 Sales Tax @5%     2146 Purchase Tax @5%        
VAT@13.5%     13.5     2152 Sales Tax @13.5%     2147 Purchase Tax @13.5%

In Tax Groups

Sales Tax@1%  (VAT@1%  is selected, others are unchecked)  - - This is meant for all sales invoice @ 1%   
Tax Exempt     (all are unchecked)   
Purchase Tax     (all three selected i.e, 1%, 5% & 13.5%)     -- For Suppliers

In Item Tax Types

VAT@1%             (VAT@1%  is exempted, others are selected)
VAT@5%             (VAT@5%  is exempted, others are selected)
VAT@13.5%     (VAT@13.5%  is exempted, others are selected)

I have created a supplier and assigned him to Purchase Tax Group.
I have created a customer and assigned him to Sales Tax@1%
I have created 3 items assigned them 3 tax types like 1%, 5% & 13.5% respectively.

While purchasing the above 3 items from the supplier, taxes are coming nicely in the purchase invoice for corresponding items. However my problem is that, when i sale the items, in the Sales Invoice (where taxes for all 3 items should be calculated as Sales Tax @ 1% , as i have assigned customer to Sales Tax @ 1%) , the only item (which have assigned the tax rate VAT@1% in the item master) is coming with 1% tax and other two are coming without any taxes.

I can understand that it will take your precocious time however i could not figure out what went wrong. Please help, if possible.

Thanks.

Thank you Joe for your quick response. I will go through it and post here with the outcomes.

Hello there,

I have searched the forum regarding the subject captioned above however could not able get the answer. Let's get into details of the requirement.

Say, i have to purchase/Sale SONY VAIO Laptop E-Series of 05 nos of quantity. All the laptops belongs to the same series and have the same configuration however with different serial numbers. So, while making the invoice, can i add the item as like below ?

SONY VAIO Laptop E-Series   .......       5 Nos........  Price...............  & so on
(Sl.No-1, Sl.No-2, Sl.No-3.........)

Why i am opting for this is, while selling 5 nos of same model laptop and adding it in the invoice for 5 times only because of different serial numbers many not look great in the invoice.

Hope, some body will kind enough to guide me to achieve this, if that is possible with FA.

Thanks.

Hi Elax,

Thank you very much for your guidance & i really appreciate it. At last, i figured out how to do this. Thank you very much for your time & contribution to this healthy forum.

Hi Elax,

Thanks for your beautiful tips. It seems that i am coming to the point. One more things at this stage i would like to request you to look into is, if i assign a supplier a specific tax group (Say 13.5%), is it possible to buy from that supplier, items having different tax rate (say @ 5%), as not all the products are comes under VAT @ 13.5 % however there are some items which comes under VAT @ 5% from that supplier.

Hope you will find a way..

Thanks again

Hi Elax,

Thanks for your time and response. I am really feeling guilty that i could not achieved what i wanted to do.  I have gone through the wiki and i think i have messed up with huge information there.

I want if i purchase a product @13.5 % VAT, how can i sell it with VAT@1 % ?

While creating a new item, if i am choosing "Item Tax Type" say VAT@13.5% ,  that VAT @13.5% is coming on both purchase and sales invoice, where as i want VAT@1% should be reflected in the Sales invoice.

Hope you will help.

Thanks

I have created 3 tax rates like @1%, @5% & @13.5% and created the corresponding GL accounts. Now my concern is, if i purchase a product @13.5 % tax, can i sell it with VAT@1 % ?

Hi Elax,

Thanks for your prompt reply. If i create a more than one tax i.e,  VAT @ 5% & VAT @ 1% it comes out error with "Selected GL Accounts cannot be used by another tax type". Should i need to create corresponding GL Account under current liabilities ?

Please advice.

Thanks

Hi, Front accounting is really incredible erp software & I am really surprised how i could not discovered it earlier. I have spent well amount of time on reading the features of this product in this forum and stocked at one point. What i want to achieve is described below.

I from India and also installed Indian Chat of Accounts. On the taxation issue, I purchase some products with VAT @ 5 % and for some products VAT @ 13.5 %. Under certain circumstances (As i have SHRIN no, not TIN no), i want to sell all the products with a VAT @ 1% . Can i accomplish this ? Also i should have a provision to sell VAT @ 5 % & vat @ 13.5 % .

Further to this, is it possible to have drop down box feature for entering tax while purchasing and selling products (by choosing appropriate tax) ?

Any response from senior members or anybody have a solution to this will be highly appreciated.

Thanking you in advance
