In some countries, Tax Templates are used instead of VAT Codes. VAT Codes should be used where each sales and purchase transaction (e.g. each row in an Invoice) is taxed at a single rate, while Tax Templates should be used where different taxes and/or several tax rates are applied to one transaction (e.g. to one row).

If you need to use Tax Templates, you should first choose the Use Tax Templates for Tax Calculation option in the Transaction Settings setting in the Nominal Ledger. This option will cause a Tax Template field ("T-Cd") to appear on flip E of the matrix in a Receipt record instead of the VAT Code field ("V-Cd").

If you are using Tax Templates and you are also using the Post Receipt VAT option in the Account Usage S/L setting, your output sales tax liability will be calculated from your Receipts, not from your Invoices. In this case, the Tax Template Code and tax value (in the Bank Currency) will be brought in to the T-Cd and VAT Value fields on flip E of a Receipt row automatically when you enter an Invoice Number on flip A. Separate rows will be added to the Receipt for each Tax Template Code used in the Invoice.

Because a particular Tax Template can include several tax rates, it can be difficult to see at a glance how the tax figure in a Receipt is calculated. If you need to see how a tax figure in a particular Receipt row is calculated, place the insertion point in the row in question and then select 'Open Tax Matrix' from the Operations menu. A new window will open, displaying the tax calculation for that row. The illustration below shows the tax calculation for the first row in a Receipt:

Selecting this function will have no effect if you are not using Tax Templates (i.e. you have not selected the Use Tax Templates for Tax Calculation option in the Transaction Settings setting).
