Use the Item Group Withholdings setting to define the formulae that will be used to calculate Withholding Tax amounts in Sales Invoices. In this setting, you should enter a separate record for each Item Group that contains at least one Item that is subject to Withholding Tax.

To work with the Item Group Withholdings setting, first ensure you are in the Sales Ledger using the [Switch Module] button in the Navigation Centre. Then click the [Settings] button, also in the Navigation Centre, or use the Ctrl-S/⌘-S keyboard shortcut. Double-click 'Item Group Withholdings' in the list. The 'Item Group Withholdings: Browse' window will be opened, showing all Item Group Withholdings records previously entered. Double-click a record in the list to edit it, or add a new record by selecting 'New' from the Create menu in the Button Bar. When the record is complete, save it by clicking the [Save] button in the Button Bar or by clicking the close box and choosing to save changes. To close it without saving changes, click the close box.

When Withholding Tax is calculated and included in Invoices, it will be posted to a temporary Account. When Customers pay the Invoices, the Withholding Tax will be moved from the temporary Account to a final Account. The final Account will be taken from the Withholding Tax regime that you specify here.

Paste Special    Account register, Nominal Ledger/System module
When Withholding Tax is calculated and included in Invoices, it will be posted to a temporary Account. When Customers pay the Invoices, the Withholding Tax will be moved from the temporary Account to a final Account. Specify the temporary Account here.

Tax Base
Use this field if Withholding Tax is not to be calculated on the full sales value of Items belonging to the Item Group, as follows:

  • Enter a figure followed by a percentage sign if you need Withholding Tax to be calculated on a percentage of the full sales value. For example, if you enter "10" in the Tax % field and "50.00%" in this field, Withholding Tax on a sale worth 1000.00 will be calculated as (1000.00 x 50.00%) x 10%.

  • Enter a figure without a percentage sign if you need Withholding Tax to be calculated on a fixed amount. For example, if you enter "10" in the Tax % field and "50.00" in this field, Withholding Tax on a sale worth 1000.00 will be calculated as 50.00 x 10%.
Leave this field empty if Withholding Tax is to be calculated on the full sales value.
