Processing a Sale with VAT Exemption(s)

If you need to process a sale for products or items which require a VAT Exemption you can do so as shown below.

You would normally need to see proof for this exemption or get the customer to sign an exemption document. We also recommend that if you have a mixture of exempt and VATable items that these are processed under separate orders, allowing you to generate more accurate and clear receipts/invoices.

There a number of reasons you might need to do so, including:
– Mobility or Disability
– International Customers (Non-UK)

1) Enter relevant items into the Sales Basket by SCAN, LOOKUP or PLU Entry as usual.
2) Clicking ‘Alter Line/Change Price‘ or pressing [F2] on your keyboard
3) Click the ‘VAT Exemption‘ button on the right
