Before entries are recorded, the tax rates must be set up. This is done under Settings Tax rates. Three input tax rates are already configured by default. Via Add you can create your own tax rates or via Edit or double-click existing tax rates can be adjusted.
Existing tax rates can only be modified or deleted if no entries have been made with them. Otherwise the rate can be deactivated, deactivated rates will no longer be suggested when posting.
There is no need for special configuration of input tax. The input tax is entered in the assets on "1170 Input tax", the calculation base is the net amount. If different accounts are used, the appropriate account can be selected here.
If no net/ flat tax rate is used, this field is to be ignored. Confirm the configuration with Save.
Now the tax rate can be assigned to an account. This is done in the Accounts module. Double-click on the desired account to open the edit dialog.
Now select the tax rate and finish with Save. All entries made to this account from now on will contain the input tax selected here.
If the VAT statement is due, the period can be selected in the VAT report and the amounts shown can be read. For a semi-annual settlement, the period select 2020 S1 or S2 (second semester) is selected in the upper right-hand corner.
The sales tax report shows the amounts displayed (base/sales and tax) for the selected period. The "Tax due CHF" is already the calculated tax with sales tax minus input tax.
Important: The balances of a VAT account can be viewed via the account journal or the account statements report.
The amounts to 1170 input tax are not automatically transferred to 2200 sales tax. A manual posting is required to clear the input tax with the VAT account.
Enter this as follows: 2200 VAT on sales tax / 1170 Input tax, CHF X.XX. The input tax expended is then deducted from the VAT due.
