Hello, I need to add 2 different default taxes to the System Values: Basic/VAT rates section. How can this be done?

Correct me if this is not right anymore, but it happens that in practice VAT and IRPF actually cancel each other out. VAT is an added tax, IRPF is a deduction.


Whereas it is impossible to define more than one tax rate on a vendor's account, the only way to deal with this is indicate the tax and the deduction it causes on the document template (PO or Vendor Invoice), so that it is shown on paper, but has no reflection in XTRF. 

So in practice, our Spanish clients deal with this by modifying the document templates. 

Can you describe in more detail why you need two defaults? How would the system know when to use either one or the other?

Interesting question. We also need this, our local vendors need to apply 2 types of taxes in their invoices.

Hello!

I guess this is a common issue at least for the spanish companies. @Victor, you are facing an issue with the IRPF, right?

If that's the case we changed the template to include it while we wait for XTRF to develop smth more usable...

Hello, I have the same requirement, can you help me to resolve it? thank you!

Excuse me, how do you resolved this situation?

Dear Maciej, 

Not anymore, the % change it, there are not the same. How much time your team need to make the template change? can you send a proposal please? Thank you for your help.

Hello,

Has there been any progress on this? For our Mexican clients, we sometimes need to use up to 3 different tax rate. Sometimes they cancel each other out, sometimes they don't. From what I gather, this is a common situation in many countries. Some competing TMS allow the user to define multiple tax rates. Is it so complicated to implement? What's the team's stand on this?

I asked XTRF the same thing recently and they said it wasn't possible to have more than one VAT rate per customer.
I also find it very inflexible - in Germany, different services such as translations or language training have different VAT rates, so it's not customer-specific but service-specific.

As far as I know, you can create as many VAT rates as you want. In Classic Projects, you can specify which VAT rate to apply on a particular task (so, on the Task level). We do this a lot. In this way, I think you can have different VAT rates applied to different parts of a project.


I don't know if this also works in Smart Projects, though. And what is not possible is to apply multiple VAT rates to the same item, I believe.

I just had a look and can't see any place to add VAT to a task in Smart Projects. 
So that would be a step backwards?
