Topic: Show which items including VAT

Hi,
i have a question regarding vat .

The printed Sales Invoice doesn’t seem to display which items are net of VAT, and which are not. This will obviously cause the recipient of the Sales Invoice some confusion, as he or she would like to know which items include VAT, and which don’t.

For example, if the User is a grocery-store, vegetables sold will be zero-rated, and will not have any VAT. On the Invoice, this should show that this item has no VAT (i.e. “VAT – zero”). But when the grocery-store sells, say, magazines it will have VAT, so on the same customer invoice, it will read “VAT - £0.85 (@20%)” next to the magazine item.

How could we show which items including VAT, and which don’t.

Waiting for your reply...

Re: Show which items including VAT

This requires a few things to be done:
- In the invoice report (107), check the stock master table for each line item, getting the tax code
- lookup the tax code to translate back to words eg. 4 = GST
- change the item report line loop to also include the tax code.
It all needs coding, but that's the basic logic I think.
