Purchase Invoice total is GROSS + VAT

It's possible that the Exclusive of tax option was selected on your purchase invoice, which caused VAT to be added to your total amount.

If you prefer your tax setting to be inclusive by default and need to fix a purchase invoice where VAT was incorrectly added, follow these steps:

1. Go to the purchase invoice or bill page.

2. Locate the dropdown menu next to Amounts are.

3. Change the setting to Inclusive of Tax.

To update your default tax setting:

1. Click on the Gear icon in the upper right corner.

2. Select Account and settings under YOUR COMPANY.

3. Go to the Advanced section and locate the Accounting tab.

4. Find the Default tax rate selection and set it to Inclusive of tax.

After the update, the system will treat the amounts you enter as final totals. It will calculate the tax behind the scenes and will not add any extra tax to your prices.
