Correcting tax code on a transaction

Once you've identified the transactions that have the wrong tax codes, you can correct them.

NOTE: If a transaction is already VAT reconciled, allocated or it is a foreign transaction, you can't edit the tax code. To correct this when you can't edit a tax code, you must reverse the transaction and post it with the correct tax code.

  1. Click Transactions and identify the transaction.
  2. Click Edit then click Edit.
  3. Click the T/C drop-down and select the correct tax code.
  4. To recalculate the tax for the new tax code, click Yes.

    If required, you may also need to correct the Net and Tax values.

  5. Click Close then click Save and click Yes.
