What can you set for a VAT group?
- Answer
A VAT group is a group that products fall under. The group determines which VAT rate applies. You create groups in Settings > Point of sale and products > VAT group, on the VAT group tab, and choose one for each product. VAT groups are free.
- Where to find it
Settings > Point of sale and products > VAT group > tab VAT group (
/settings/vatsetup)- Explanation
The VAT group page has three tabs: VAT for the percentages, Currency for your currency and VAT group for the groups. First create the VAT percentages and then, per group, a name with a percentage. Every product belongs to a group, and that group determines the rate at which it appears on the receipt. If a product belongs to a group without a rate, the receipt shows zero VAT and your VAT return will not be correct. A product set does not choose a VAT group, and for a gift card the VAT is zero.
