VAT (TX205000)
This topic gives you information about the elements that you find in this window in Visma Net, such as fields, field values, buttons, and check boxes.
You use this window to define all the VAT rates related to your business. Each VAT rate is reported to a specific tax agency and is paid to
or claimed from the agency.
For details, see: About VAT settings.
The definition of the VAT includes such settings as the following:
- The VAT rate used to calculate the VAT amount
- The method of VAT amount calculation
- The date when the VAT becomes effective or after which the VAT is not valid
- The general ledger accounts to which the calculated VAT amounts should be posted
On the tabs in this window, you can view VAT categories and VAT zones that include the VAT, and easily exclude a particular VAT from VAT categories or zones.
If you are in the list window, the first line in the table is a search line. Each column has a search field which you can click to search for or filter on specific values and narrow down the displayed table rows. You can search and filter in as many columns as you need to, to only display the results you want to view.
There are two types of search fields:
- White: here you can type a specific search term to display results in this column containing this exact value. If you search on several (partial) words, you can separate them by a space or % and get different results:
space: the result contains the words in any order,
%: the result contains the words in the specific order, and the % functions as a wildcard as well.
- Grey: you can click this to open the column filter pop-up window where you can filter the results for this column.
On this tab, you can select a VAT to view its details, or you can create a new VAT.
