Total VAT formula not working on invoice?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 133

Hello, 

I have created my VAT Posting Setup as below:

Standard rate is 20%

Reduced rate is 5%

I have an invoice with two lines, 

Line 1: £100 reduced VAT (5%) so £5 VAT

Line 2: £50 standard VAT (20%) so £10 VAT

However, the system is applying the standard rate to the £150

is this a bug or is there a setting to get VAT calculated line by line? 

Thanks

Alejandra

    Hi Vaishnavi,

    I have found the issue! I didn't have any values in the VAT Identifier field on the VAT Posting Setup. I have now added them and VAT amounts are correctly calculated.

    Many thanks for your help.

    Hi,

    If you are using windows then type windows + Alt + R this will start the recording once you are  done select the pause button this will record the video in This PC section in videos folder.

    or you can download any app from this website. Once you have recorder the video there is Insert option. Click on drill down you will get an option Image and Video file and then you can add the video.

    Hi,

    I tried to add vat in Purchase invoice it works fine even if i did preview posting in GB tenant with version 20.2

    is there any customization done on  your tenant?

    If that's the case, please uninstall the extension and try again.

    if not then could you share a video of the problem?

    Hi,

    Can you specify your Business Central Localization and version?

    And do you have any customization done on it?

    Hello Vaishnavi,

    I've used the Page Inspection and for the amount including VAT is £105  

                        Line 1 Line 2

    Amount             100      50

    VAT %             5        20

    Amount Inc VAT   105 75

    and it gets worst, when I click on Posting Preview I get totally different VAT amounts, see below:

    VAT Bus. PG VAT Prod. PG Posting Date Doc Type Base Amount VAT Calculation Type

    DOMESTIC STANDARD 24/06/2022 Invoice 50.00 2.50        Normal VAT

    DOMESTIC REDUCED 24/06/2022 Invoice 100.00 5.00 Normal VAT

    Thanks

    Hi,

    There is field in the line Amount Including VAT which will show the vat amount by line.

    If you are working in sandbox then you can add the below field using design method otherwise you have to bring this field on page using customization by setting the visible property true for this field.

    if you don't want to display this field on page level you can also check data using Inspection page.

    Hi,

    If you pull the "VAT Business Posting Group" on to the line via personalisation is this DOMESTIC for both lines?
