Introduction
In the world of business, keeping a close eye on your financial transactions is critical. The VAT Audit Report feature in Empress is designed to simplify this process for you. It provides a detailed breakdown of each item’s amount from the sales and purchase invoices within a specific timeframe. This feature makes your financial processes more efficient and ensures you’re adhering to VAT regulations.
Before you can begin using the VAT Audit Report, you need to set up your VAT Accounts in the South Africa VAT Settings.
Setting Up Your VAT Accounts
The first step to using the VAT Audit Report is to configure your VAT Accounts. You need to include the VAT Accounts you wish to track in the South Africa VAT Settings. This will allow the VAT Audit Report to pull information from these accounts when generating your report.
Things to Keep in Mind
To ensure the VAT Audit Report provides accurate calculations, there are a few important things you need to verify:
- For items that are Zero Rated, remember to check the Is Zero Rated box in the item master. This ensures these items are correctly tracked in your report.
- Make sure that all the VAT accounts you want to include in the report are selected in the South Africa VAT Settings. This ensures all relevant data is included in your report.
Current Limitations
Please note that, at this moment, the VAT Audit Report only includes data from invoices. This means that other types of financial data are not included in the report. However, stay tuned for future updates which may expand the types of data this report can handle.
