I’ve setup the VAT receipt like the example shown at the start of this topic, however I am struggling to handle 0% VAT sales.
In the UK, some items are sold as 0% VAT. In SambaPOS, I cannot create a tax template and set the Rate to 0. So I just have to omit products that are at the zero rate from any tax template. I am struggling to show the VAT summary on the receipt to include the 0% VAT amount.
The relevant part of my receipt template is below:
<F>-
<C00>VAT RECEIPT SUMMARY
<J00>Rate | NET | VAT
{TAXES}
<EB>
<J00>VAT TOTAL | [={TICKET TOTAL}-{TAX TOTAL}] | {TAX TOTAL}
<DB>
<C00>VAT No.: GB 123456789
<F>=
[TAXES]
<J00>{TAX RATE}% VAT | {TAXABLE AMOUNT} | {TAX AMOUNT}
Here is an example sale containing one item that is 0% VAT:
Business Name
Street Address
Tel: 01234 567890
www.example.com
Date/Time: 01/10/2016 08:31 Ticket #: 65
Restaurant Table #: 1
------------------------------------------------
Garden 4.25
Misc Item (ZERO VAT) 2.00
* Test
------------------------------------------------
Total: £6.25
Cash 6.25
Change 0.00
------------------------------------------------
VAT RECEIPT SUMMARY
Rate NET VAT
20% VAT 3.54 0.71
VAT TOTAL 5.54 0.71
VAT No.: GB 123456789

So you can see I am missing a line in my {TAXES} section. Ideally I want to have it show like this:
------------------------------------------------
VAT RECEIPT SUMMARY
Rate NET VAT
20% VAT 3.54 0.71
0% VAT 2.00 0.00
VAT TOTAL 5.54 0.71
VAT No.: GB 123456789
================================================
I tried adding a line like this after the {TAXES} section, however I have no way to access the total of 0% VAT items:
<J00>0% VAT | [={TICKET TOTAL}-{TAX TOTAL}-{TAXABLE AMOUNT:20% VAT}] | 0.00
I am aware this won’t work so is just for illustration - there is no {TAXABLE AMOUNT:X} tag available. The {TAXABLE AMOUNT} tag is only available within the {TAXES} section. The only way I can imagine to be able to access the ticket total for items that don’t have a tax template assigned to them is like this.
Any suggestions? Or can we possibly add support for either tax templates with 0 rate or have {TAXABLE AMOUNT:X} tag available, where X is the tax template name. I am sure many UK businesses that are VAT registered and want to produce VAT receipts must have this same issue?
