VAT treatment of accounts

Hi. Is it possible to set the VAT amount for various accounts? For example, my clients use several garages to purchase fuel. Each time I enter a new supplier and enter Fuel as the expense account, I have to set the VAT rate. It would be really useful if you could set default VAT rates for the various expense accounts - e.g. for me, Fuel is always 20%; Postage & Stationery is always 20%; Stock is always 20% etc. Is this possible or if not, please could it be put on the wish list? Many thanks.

Hi Carolyn,

Unfortunately that is not possible in Solar Accounts - I'll note it as a feature request.

Note that a workaround is to use a generic name for the supplier like 'Garage'. Then you will only need to enter "20%" once - for subsequent transactions the VAT rate will be populated automatically.

Regards,
