Understanding the VAT report

The VAT report shows how much value-added tax your sales generated, broken down by rate. These are the numbers your accountant uses for the VAT return.

Steps

1. Open reports: Go to Reports (or Accounting) and choose the VAT/tax overview.
2. Choose the period: Usually the term or month you're reporting for.
3. Read the breakdown: The report shows net, VAT and gross per rate (for example 25%, 15% and 12%).
4. Export if needed: Download for your accountant. See "Export and download reports".

Good to know: Correct VAT figures depend on products having the right VAT code. See "Choosing the right VAT (MVA) code". For food, dine-in and takeaway often have different rates – see "Dine-in and takeaway prices with Food Mode".

Tip: Check the VAT report monthly, not just at term end, so you catch a wrong code early.
