Setting VAT rates for suppliers and subcontractors

It can be specified that a specific supplier or subcontractor should always have a certain VAT rate. If you work with foreign suppliers or subcontractors, you can choose a VAT rate of 0% here.

  1. Click on Register > Resource Pricing Settings.
  2. Select a resource price in the list on the left.
  3. Select a VAT rate in the VAT drop-down list. If [Default] is chosen, the VAT rate stated for the price calculation in the price list used on the order is applied.
  4. Click on to save all changes.
  5. Click on Register > Suppliers or Register > Subcontractors.
  6. Go to the Pricing and Billing tab and select the resource price for which VAT was defined in the Resource Pricing drop-down list.

The VAT rate that is entered is used on all credit notes for that supplier or subcontractor, with four exceptions:

  • If a VAT rate has been entered manually on the shipment in order reception, that VAT rate applies.
  • If a VAT rate has been entered manually for the price items used in the order, that VAT rate applies to those price items.
  • If the service specified in the order has been defined as a construction service, that VAT rate applies.
  • If the Consider VAT based on country and terminal checkbox has been selected, the VAT is taken from the terminal or country registry.
