Supporting documents
- Prepare transaction documents and legal basis for the rate applicable at the tax point.
Completing and checking data
- Open “VAT rates” for the active company and search for the existing record before adding a new entry.
- Compare rate, effective interval and transaction type with the documents. For an existing item, select the row and choose “Edit row details” in its details and options window, then correct only information you can justify in the form. Calculated values and historical links remain available for checking only.
- Do not select a rate solely from the product name or last rate used. Check the date, legal category and transitional rules; preserve historical documents' treatment.
- Check the form and save the item. Close the form before adding or editing another item.
- Continue to the page using these details and check the record in the transaction's context, including its effect on reports.

Practical example
The VAT-registered company has items with different treatments. Check the applicable rate and period before use, based on documents and the transaction classification. The Catalog rate does not change the company’s tax status or by itself prove a purchase’s deductibility.
