Taxation
Set each country's tax rate and the numbering your invoices follow.
Reaching the Screen
Panel menu: Settings, Billing Settings, Taxation: {admin}/financial/taxation.
Tab addresses: {admin}/financial/taxation?tab=detail, {admin}/financial/taxation?tab=tax-rates, {admin}/financial/taxation?tab=advanced; without one, Settings.
What Is on the Screen
The Settings tab
Tax Exclusive reads a price as pre-tax and adds tax on top. Tax Inclusive reads it as tax-included and takes the tax out.
At 20%: 100 exclusive bills 100 + 20 = 120; 100 inclusive bills 83.33 + 16.67 = 100.
The Rules tab
A rule sets the rate for a country or one of its states. The table lists country, state and rate; the arrow opens one.
A rule holds named rows with their own rates, shown added together.
Your country's rule and Local Tax Rate (%) are one figure. There is no delete button: clear every row and save.
Use whole numbers: a decimal is stored but only its whole part counts. A country appears once its rate is above zero.
The Advanced tab
Two independent series: Proforma Invoice Numbering at creation, Paid Invoice Numbering at first payment. Until a counter is saved, numbers come from the record number.
Client Tax Information covers the corporate sign-up form's two tax fields.

Tasks
Turning taxation on
- On Settings tick Taxation System.
- Choose Tax Exclusive or Tax Inclusive to match your prices.
- Type your rate into Local Tax Rate (%) and save.
- Rules lists your country at that rate; new invoices are taxable.
Adding a country rule
- On Rules click New Tax Rule and pick the Country.
- Leave State/Province empty for the whole country, or pick one.
- Fill the Tax rows with a name and a rate, using Add for a second tax.
- Save. The country appears with its rows summed.
Loading built-in rates
- On Rules click Define All Tax Rates and confirm.
- Twenty-nine countries at once: the European Union, Türkiye and the United Kingdom.
- A country with no named rows gets one unnamed row; hand-written rows are kept.
Numbering invoices
- On Advanced tick Status under Proforma Invoice Numbering.
- Write the pattern in Sequential Numbering Format and set Next Invoice Number.
- Repeat under Paid Invoice Numbering for a separate series, then save.
- The next invoice takes a proforma number, renumbered when marked paid.
Things to Watch
Nothing stored is re-priced; only the next document reads the figures differently. Review the catalogue.
One click writes all twenty-nine countries, hand-set rates and Local Tax Rate (%) included. Named rows stay in place. There is no undo.
With paid numbering on, the proforma number is replaced at payment. Leave it off if one number per invoice matters.
Required Privileges
The whole screen sits behind FINANCIAL_TAXATION: menu, page and every save.
Downloading the rules table follows TABLE_EXPORT.
