VAT 9 or 21 percent is wrong on the receipt.

9 percent on food and non-alcoholic drink, also for takeaway. 21 percent on alcohol, also for takeaway. Set per article in POS, not one default. Get this wrong and your journal never reconciles.

Try this first

  1. 1Walk the whole menu and check VAT rate per item.
  2. 2Set VAT explicitly per dish, do not rely on default inheritance.
  3. 3On doubt ask your accountant, e.g. zero-alcohol cocktail is what rate?
  4. 4Reconcile monthly POS VAT against the VAT return.

When to bring us in

Correcting wrong rates afterwards is work. On large variances, file a suppletion via your accountant.
