Hi Community,

I'm using business Central with Canadian localization. I have configure Tax Group, Tax Areas and Tax Jurisdiction which is working fine. Facing one issue while creating an invoice, I can't create an invoice with including tax. As you can see in image that price including Vat is grayed Its already marked as editable in Personlization but still grayed. Also if I checked this by using configuration pacakge on Customer, Vendor and invoices its calculate amount with including VAT but shows error while posting invoice and I'm not able to post. Please have a look at image.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I think this is standard.

You can do following.

1 - Make this boolean editable on the Purchase Invoice page through small customization.

2 - When you tick the boolean, in the prompt click on No. Now if you will see it will be properly calculated.

Basically in the prompt if you say Yes it is auto updating the Unit Price and hence the tax is not correctly updated. If you click No, it is doing a recalculation and updating tax and other values correctly.

I think Microsoft needs to optimize this code or correct it to make sense.

Regards,

Dhiren.

Hello ,

In Canadian (and US) localization, Business Central does not support Prices Including VAT because Sales Tax (GST/HST/PST) is calculated on top of net prices, unlike EU VAT. That’s why the Prices Including VAT field is locked by design, even if personalization marks it editable. Forcing it via configuration packages may show inclusive totals, but posting will fail because the North American tax engine doesn’t allow inclusive pricing. Nothing is misconfigured — this is a localization limitation. The only supported approach is to enter net prices and let BC calculate tax, or build a custom solution if inclusive pricing is mandatory.
