How Opter chooses the VAT rate on credits

Opter selects the VAT rate for credits in different orders of priority depending on which resource price component is involved. If the setting is [Default] or [None], Opter moves to the next option in the list.

Applying a country or terminal VAT rate to credits

VAT on credits is based on where the supplier or subcontractor is based in relation to the transport buyer, and not on where the transport operation goes. Transport operations to other countries made on behalf of other transport companies are subject to VAT, so no special VAT settings are required for such transport operations. However, it is possible to set Opter to select the VAT rate specified for the country or terminal on credit notes as well. Proceed as follows:

  1. Click on RegisterResource Pricing Settings.
  2. Select the Consider VAT based on country and terminal checkbox.

The VAT rate entered in the country or terminal registry is used for crediting the shipment according to the priority above.
