Hi all
Our Island has just introduced value added tax. Some items are zero-rated and some with a percentage of 17%. Would I have to enter a tax status per item? or could I enter it by categories?

Thanks for your help.

Which Adagio program are you referring to? OrderEntry? Receivables? Another? The application in use would determine the correct way to set this up.

In OrderEntry, tax statuses are defined on the item level, not the category level. So each item would have to be modified if you want to change these. Take advantage of the Export/Import Items functions so that you could export all the items to an Excel spreadsheet that you want to change, make the changes in Excel, then re-import back those items.

Setting up tax tables so that they work correctly for any combination of taxable/non-taxable (customers and items) requires a significant knowledge of Adagio. Your Adagio consultant would be familar with how to best setup taxes in Adagio for your country's new tax rules. Your consultant will also be able to provide assistance if you are not comfortable with using the export/import features to update customers and items.

We're using Order Entry V8.1C, Inventory V8.1C, and Receivables V9.0A.

Hi Ruth,

I'd be happy to assist you with configuring your Adagio system to handle the Value Added Tax but I would want to speak with you directly to make sure that I understand fully the specifics of your implementation. However, please understand that this would be a chargeable service. You can contact me directly if you need further assistance.

Regards, Pete

PS: You should most likely be looking at implementing VAT in your Payables module as well
