• The software is also suitable for organisations who are not registered for either VAT or GST.
• Organisations can create an unlimited number of VAT or GST Types (e.g. VAT Standard, Zero Rated, Exempt) and allocate a percentage to it.
• Default VAT/GST Types are chosen when creating Transaction Types, including whether the VAT or GST should be considered Input or Output. However, these defaults can be edited when transactions are entered (e.g. if the supplier is not registered for VAT).
• The documentation refers to VAT, but the concepts are the same for GST.
