Overview


Tax Structure setup will be used to define the methodology of calculating taxes which we have received from customers and then pay them to government.

 

Other types of charges that may apply to your invoices (like shipping, freight, package & forwarding and insurance, etc.) can also be configured as tax charges. These lists need to be defined in charge master.


Go to Home > Account > Setup > Tax Charge


For example: We can create Purchase VAT and Sales VAT in the Charge master form.

This charge Item will be getting loads in a purchase order, purchase invoice, sales order, and sales invoice documents to select,
In the transaction document you have to give % (example 5%) of the Purchase VAT or Sales VAT and also have to select the appropriate ledger account to post the value for further Tax computations.

Also, we can create Tax Structure like below, then the user need not to give input manually means once you have made the tax setup then the structure will be loaded with all the transaction documents.
