Side-by-side examples of each setting
Set EU Tax Regulations
For companies registered in EU, you can now modify the Tax rules for Freight invoices. You can add the Tax rule in the Tax Description field, along with the other specifications, which can be done separately in the Taxes module. This Tax then has to be connected to a Company. What is specified in Description will reflect on the invoice, but based on our various set of rules. Scroll through the demo below to see an illustration of each Tax rule, along with how this line will look on the printout. For all scenarios, you firstly have to have the Issuing Company in EU, have a company on the Business Partner, and have at least one Freight invoice (click on the pictures for better view):
If the Business Partner's country and the Issuing Company's country are equal, and there exists a VAT with Rate 0% for that country, then this will be printed out:
Remember that this line is your specified Tax description, which should be linked to the Issuing Company's Vat Rate(s).
If the Business Partner's country and the Issuing Company's country are equal and there does NOT exist a VAT with Rate 0% for that country code, then this will be printed out:
Note that this line is predefined.
If the Business Partner's company is in the EU, but not in the same country as the Issuing Company and if additionally the Business Partners VAT Number has a value, then this will be printed out:
Note that this line is predefined.
If the Issuing Company is in the EU and you do not meet the criteria of Rule 1, Rule 2 and Rule 3, then this will be printed out:
Note that this line is predefined.
If you don't have the EU Tax Automation property set up (see the warning below), your invoice does not have any document line for the account Freight, or your issuing company is not in the EU (aka you don't meet any of the previous criteria), then the printout will look like before:
Note that this is the default setup.
The line(s) is placed below the Total Amount, and above Beneficiary Name.
A System Preference to toggle the EU Tax Automation can be found under the Invoicing Preferences tab in System settings.
