Am confused please help. November 5, 2015 at 2:00 pm #280609 accachrisParticipantTopics: 4Replies: 5☆When an item is VAT Inclusive, you want to use 20/120 which is the same as 1/6. When an item is VAT Exclusive, you want to use 20%. You would use those 2 calculations in determining your VAT Payable or Refundable when doing your VAT Computation.

The question will clearly state this.AuthorPostsViewing 3 posts - 1 through 3 (of 3 total)You must be logged in to reply to this topic.Log In Username: Password: Keep me signed in Log In
