Default VAT codes for accounts

Is it possible to set a default VAT rate for accounts, by which I mean, for example, that the default VAT rate for a particular Expense account would be automatically filled in when entering transactions. This would save a lot of unnecessary repetition.

Hi Jeremy,

Sorry no, you cannot set a default VAT rate for each expense account.

Hi Mark

I too have come across this. Also a default VAT amount by supplier as this too would be hugely beneficial. Could you also include a filed in the supplier/customer details for "account" I have to use either other fields for this. I am always asked for my account number when I am calling to query sales or purchase invoices etc?

Regards

Sarah

Hi Sarah,

I'll note your preference for a default VAT rate per account.

Regarding adding an 'account number' field, I can see this would be useful for you but for most users it is not needed and might confuse novice users. Our preference is therefore for you to use the Notes field to store this information.

Regards
