Hi Guys

I’m currently setting things up for a client in Switzerland and have noticed an issue with the invoices they receive from the Swiss Border Department.

These invoices always include a line for VAT on imported products. This line represents the VAT charged for the import of the product, at 100% VAT.

I tried creating a VAT code with a 100% rate and attempted to post the entry, but I found that the system only calculates 50% of the VAT from that line instead of the expected 100%.

The workaround I discovered is to set the value to 99.99999%. While this works in some cases, it seems to create a limitation when dealing with very large amounts, as shown in the attached screenshot.

Has anyone experienced this issue before, or does anyone have a better solution to ensure the correct VAT is applied for these invoices?

Hi,

Can you check if your journal or order is price including tax toggle option enabled? If yes please turn that off then test with 100%.

As mentioned, when I set the value to 100, then the following happens:

When I set it to 99.999.. its works better.

HI,

Can you follow the suggestion by Alirerza? I am not sure why you had to update the value to 99.999% and why this was calculated 50%, can you share the screenshot of your tax code setup?

One way is to set the rounding precision to "1".
But somehow, I’m not completely satisfied with this workaround.
There must be a standard solution for this, right?
