Max. VAT Difference Allowed Field on General Ledger Setup

(9) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Mansi Soni 8,951 Super User 2026 Season 1
Hello Professionals,
 

In the General Ledger Setup of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, there is a field named "Max. VAT Difference Allowed." According to the tooltip, this field defines the maximum correction amount permitted for VAT in the local currency. For example, if "5" is entered for British Pounds, it implies that VAT discrepancies can be corrected up to a limit of five pounds.

However, I seek clarification on this: Once the VAT is calculated, in which scenario within the system can this VAT amount actually be corrected? I'm particularly interested in understanding the practical context where this field becomes applicable during transactions.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions or input!


Regards,
Mansi Soni

    Hello,
     
    You can change the VAT amount on Sales, Purchase and journals.
     
     
    You will need to turn on additional setting to allow VAT differences on the respective module.

    Hi,
     
    With regards practical use, you might sometimes need to amend the VAT that Business Central has calculated when entering Purchase Invoices from Vendors.
     
    This scenario can occur when the Vendor sends you an invoice and their system has calculated the VAT differently by a couple of pennies due to the way their system rounds things. 
     
    In this scenario when entering the Purchase Invoice you can click "Statistics" and change the VAT to match the Vendor invoice. (and you can only change the VAT up to the amount set in the "Max VAT Difference Allowed" field)
     
    I hope this helps.
     
    Thanks
    Gavin

    This is because the actual Qualified Invoice System in some countries is not BC, so there are some differences in decimal points. In order to eliminate these differences, BC has this function.

    Hope this helps as well.
