Show VAT on invoice

I would like to show VAT on the total of my invoice, but the only way I can show it at present is to add it to each line. (I charge an hourly rate, and I have to show an hourly rate that has VAT added)

How can I have it to be calculated on the total amount, rather than show it on each item?

Hey tmccar

You can only add it to each line, as you may have scenarios where you have multiple lines, each with a different VAT code.

The total VAT for the invoice is calculated based on the entirety of the VAT across the whole invoice, giving you a total VAT in the bottom right hand corner of the invoice.

You can also use custom form styles to change what information you want the invoice to show, if you want to use this route.

Thanks,

Good day,

Is there perhaps a way for VAT to be worked out by the net total of everything sold?
There are 12 different VAT options to choose from and with an invoice list where we sell around 20 items it can sometimes lead to choosing the wrong VAT option for one of the items.

Thanks for chiming in on this thread, @christofar.

Currently, the option to change the TOTAL TAX text to TOTAL VAT in your invoice is unavailable. In the meantime, look for a third-party app that lets you customize your invoice templates. While I'm unable to recommend an app, I can direct you to the website where you can look for an application specific to your business needs: QuickBooks App Center.
