Hi,my client requires to deliver gift items, regulatory requirement is to calculate sales tax on selling price of the goods.hence we need to configure to have following impact:Apply sales taxDo not apply customer receivableDo not apply revenueDeliver & Deduct inventory
Please help.
Hello Hussain Ali,
One way to achieve it is creating an ordinary sales order line with the 'normal' price and the sales tax.
In a second line you can then use a category or service item that you call 'rebate or discount or something alike' and then ensure that no sales tax is calculated and posted on the second line.
Doing this will result in an invoice where the customer receives a document with the sales tax amount only that he/she has to pay.
Best regards,
Ludwig
Hi Hussain,
Does the customer has to pay the sales tax or is the requirement to not send an invoice (or send a zero invoice) where internally, there will be an amount listed on the tax declaration? For the tax declaration, do you need the tax amount only or also the base amount?
Hi André,
Basically it's a charity so customer does not have to pay for sales tax and no invoice is being sent to the customer. However for tax reporting purpose it's required to have sales tax calculated on the sales price of item. for reporting purpose I need base amount as well.

In that case, you can use almost the same suggestion from Ludwig above. However, ensure the second line has an amount which is equal to the first line amount + tax and have no tax calculation settings. Then the first line is having the base and sales tax amount. The second line will ensure that a zero invoice will be posted. Besides the second line, you can also use a negative misc. charge on the first line.
