  13. The VAT rate is determined by
    Screenshot_2019-08-09_at_11.37.36.png

    - Firstly by the settings registered on the Supplier in the registry, for example if the Supplier is based in a country outside or within the EU
    Screenshot_2019-08-08_at_16.43.31.png  

    - Secondly, the sales account registered on the Item in the Item registry.
    When an item is registered on a purchase order, the application looks at what VAT rate is registered on the sales account registered on the Item.

    - Lastly, if nothing is registered on the supplier and no sales account is registered on the item either, the application gets the VAT rate from the default sales account registered under Registry - Chart of Accounts -  Default Accounts - Sales.
