Default tax codes - v27.1 and above - UK

Created on  | Last modified on 

Summary

This guide provides the default tax codes used in Sage 50cloud Accounts.

Description

Tax codes identify how much VAT is paid on different goods and services. If you're VAT registered, the tax code you enter against each transaction determines which box of your VAT Return is affected.

Let's look at the existing default tax codes, which boxes on your VAT return they affect and how they're set up in your tax codes settings.

 NOTE: This guide relates to Sage 50cloud Accounts v27.1 and above only, which is what you need to use the import tax codes post-Brexit. We also have a Default tax codes guide for Sage 50cloud Accounts v27.0 and below >
