2. Prices with VAT in webshop

Implemented but some issues OFBIZ-1086. In France this is required : you must show your prices VAT included if you are selling to public (B2C). When you sell to professionals (B2B), by usage, you show that your prices are VAT excluded.

3. Configuration of VAT GL Account

...

There is not always direct connection between invoice date and VAT. E.g in Poland if purchase invoice is received more than 2 months from purchase it will not decrease amount of VAT to be paid. Same in France, must be the same month, but you may regularise in a delay of 2 years. 

Some invoice invoices can be not valid.

For Export invoice there can be requiremnt requirement for document which will confirm that goods has been exported (to apply 0% VAT)

...

 Shipment cost should be VAT aware (amount shoudl amounts should be split  splitted  for netto + VAT on invoices). There is a field for that in Tax Autorithies/Product Rate : TaxAuthorityRateProduct.taxShipping. But shipping amounts are no VAT splitted.

9. Rounding

in general it's applied per VAT rate, but without rounding that's the same;
important: rounding may only take place one time per VAT rate
(after all calc. VAT amounts are summed up for that rate)

Exemption

 

 

Some products can have different tax rate when selling to different type of customer. E.g. In Poland flat/house renting is 0% for individual
customer but 22% when renting for comapnycompany. This is usually handled by creating different products for different VAT rates.
