How can I activate or enable the IVA (tax) section when entering supplier bills?

To add IVA to your supplier bills, you'll first need to set up taxes in your account, Alan.

 

To do so, here's how:

 

  1. Go to the My apps section and select Tax.
  2. Then, click the Set up VAT button.
  3. On the Set up sales tax page, add the necessary information and ensure it is accurate.
  4. Once done, click Next, then select OK.

 

Once your taxes are set up, go back to the bill page and select the tax code.

 

If the option to select taxes on purchases is unavailable, please know that this is currently unsupported in your region. In this case, I recommend sending feedback to our product developers so they may consider including this feature in a future update.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon. Choose the Feedback option.
  2. Type in your valuable suggestions and recommendations.
  3. Select Next to submit.

 

In the meantime, you can create a dedicated expense account for taxes on purchases. To do so, here's how:

 

  1. Head to the Gear icon and select Chart of Accounts.
  2. Click New in the upper-right-hand corner.
  3. Then, choose Expense or Other Expense in the Account Type field.
  4. Choose the most appropriate option in the Detail Type field.
  5. Add all the necessary details and click Save and Close.

 

Once the account is created, add it to the second or last line when entering your bill.
