Amount
This will always be the GROSS amount when VAT is involved within the transaction.
VAT
If applicable a VAT rate can be attached to the amount entered which will record the VAT reclaimable from the Revenue through to the VAT account and VAT report.
While within the amount box use the arrow keys to scroll through the VAT rates available in order to capture the VAT on any payments for which you may reclaim VAT from the Revenue and for which the VAT was not previously captured. The VAT element will flow through to the VAT report to be included within the Normal VAT Report for the period.
IF THE USER HAS POSTED THE PURCHASE INVOICE, WHICH WAS SUBSEQUENTLY PAID FOR OUT OF PETTY CASH, THEN THE VAT AND THE EXPENSE HAS ALREADY BEEN CAPTURED AT THE TIME OF POSTING THE PURCHASE INVOICE THEREFORE A SUPPLIER SHOULD BE CHOSEN AS OPPOSED TO A PAYEE.
