VAT

VAT applies when you ship a product to a customer whose receiving location is within the same state as your shipping location. When you transfer products to another location in your company that is in a different state, a retention percentage is retained.

VAT consists of two tax types:

  • VAT

    The system calculates VAT as the current taxable amount that includes the excise tax amount.

  • Additional Tax/Surcharge

    The system calculates additional tax or surcharge based on the VAT amount.

Continuing the example from excise tax, this table shows a typical tax calculation for VAT:
