Document VAT Calculation

The VAT calculation in documents generated by the system is based on the principal amounts.

For example, if the principal price of an item is 1.23 and we ordered about 100 items, then the VAT will be calculated as follows:

Principal for 100 items: 1.23*100 = 123

Total price including 17% VAT: 123*1.17 = 143.91

VAT: 143.91-123 = 20.91

The default in the system is to display the items excluding VAT and the VAT summary at the end of the document.

To change the display setting of the line, go to these fields under System Settings > Edit Document Type.

Clarification: If the document settings are nevertheless configured to display the amount after VAT at the line level, there may be differences between the document amount and the amount at the line level.
