Hi All,
we recently had a change in VAT (GST) in the UK. Our idiot government
only gave us 1 week to alter everything, but with all the other stuff to
be done I've finished up with invoices/receipts to be process from
before the change.
Is there anyway of changing the VAT rate temporarily for the current
document without changing the system set-up? Also, if I do change the
VAT rate back temporarily, are there likely to be any knock-on effects?
Not sure about L-SMB, but SL has an end date that a tax rate applies
to. So simply set the end date to be 30/11/2008 and then set the new
rate to 15%. I already did this and it seems to work fine (much easier
than setting all your products to have a new VAT item...)
Note that I previously had my reports hard wired to print 17.5%. This
obviously went wrong... I found though that with a bit of tweaking you
can make the tex reports drag out the correct vat rate and print it per
line. I can mail in my template if it is needed?
