Warning: VAT amounts change automatically

The amount in the VAT field will change whenever you change an amount in the line item area or the Carriage field, regardless of whether you've changed the VAT amount manually. If you change a transaction's information after manually changing its VAT amount, be sure to review the amount in the VAT field again to ensure that the amount is still the amount you want.

If, at a later time, you realise the original VAT amount was correct, open the VAT Information window again and click the Recalculate button. The VAT amount will be restored to an amount that's based on the VAT codes assigned to the transaction.

Note: VAT Variance Report

Transactions with changes VAT amounts appear on the VAT Amount Variance report.
