Purchasing for Stock Items - Three-Way Voucher Match
When you enter the purchase order receipt, the system records the sales tax in two general ledger accounts: Purchase Tax Accrual and Received Not Vouchered Tax. When the system creates the voucher, it offsets the Received Not Vouchered Tax account. You use the Purchase Tax Accrual account to track the sales tax portion of the item. You do not remit sales tax to a tax authority because the seller (supplier) pays it. The gross amount of the voucher includes both the sales and VAT taxes; the GL distribution includes the goods + sales tax only. When you post the voucher, the system records the VAT in the VAT Recoverable Tax account. Rather than pay a tax authority, you pay the seller (supplier) for the amount of the goods plus VAT and recover the VAT amount from the tax authority later.
