How to setup & use VAT margin scheme using RepairDesk?
The VAT Margin Scheme tax that is usually applied in the EU territory is the difference between what you paid for an item and what you sold it for, rather than the full selling price.
RepairDesk allows activating VAT Margin for specific categories and for specific products as well.
You need to follow a few simple steps in order to activate the VAT Margin for specific product categories and the Trade-In section in the POS.
To get started, go to your Store Settings and click on VAT Margin. You will need to enable VAT Margin and then provide the tax class name and percentage which you want to charge.
Once the margin is set, you will need to activate the VAT Margin for specific product categories. Based on your selection, VAT margin will be applied.
When you activate the VAT Margin for a specific category, the system asks you if you'd either like to apply your changes to all previously-created items or not. If you select Yes, then the VAT Margin will be applied to all the items created under this specific category. If you select No, then only newly-created items will have VAT Margin activated from them.
After activating VAT Margin for a product category or Trade-In, when you sell an item from that category, the tax will be applied on their margin, and not on the retail price.
