(Un)block the supplied VAT duties

The various possible VAT duties are provided as defaults. You can only change the description or (un)block the duty.

Note:

You cannot change the VAT duties yourself. Contact your consultant or AFAS Support for assistance.

To (un)block a VAT duty:

1. Go to: Financial / VAT/ICP / Configuration / VAT duty.  

   

2. Open the properties of VAT duty.
3. Go to the tab: General.

   You see the general data of the VAT duty, including the Description, the area the transaction refers to and whether a tax payment exemption or transfer applies.

   The VAT restriction on journal entries check box is selected by default. This means a restriction applies on entering the VAT: you can only select the VAT codes that refer to the VAT duty for the journal in which you are entering. You only deselect this check box if you want to be able to select from the entire list of existing VAT codes when posting entries to Financial for the debtor or creditor for which you have specified this VAT duty. For example, if you deselect the VAT restriction on journal entries check box for the Sales within EU VAT duty and set a debtor to the Sales within EU duty, no restrictions apply to the VAT and you can select from the entire list of existing VAT codes when posting an entry for this debtor. This could apply, for example if you have multiple foreign VAT numbers and want to be able to select the VAT duty to use when posting an entry.

4. If applicable, change the Description.
5. Select the Blocked check box if you want to block the duty. Deselect the check box if you want to unblock the duty.
6. Go to the tab: VAT codes.

   You see the VAT codes that are linked to the VAT duty.

7. Click on: OK.
