Vat Rate Change

If you are selling goods at 21% you will need to make the following changes to charge vat at 23% from 1st of January.

Please follow these steps to update your system for Vat at 23%.

This update is intended for customers using Sage. This should be updated after your last sync for the current week. As you will not want to send the new code down until after the 1st January.

Once you start making the changes to products and the price matrix these changes will be loaded to the handheld the next time you sync , so the timing is important as you don’t want these new changes downloaded until the Monday sales cycle.

For Intact Customers please ensure you have run the utility from Intact to update your vat settings
