VAT Types Tutorials
- QuickEasy BOS has features to expertly handle most countries’ VAT or GST requirements.
- 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 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.

These tutorials explain how to create the VAT Types you must have to comply with your country’s VAT regulations.

- VAT % = Type the prevailing VAT Rate for the VAT Type.
- For zero-rated or exempt transactions, type 0.
- For VAT-only transactions (e.g. VAT on imports) type 100.
