Tags for price and VAT

These tags can be used in all places where a price section is used, i.e. work orders, service orders, service protocols, sales orders and quotes.

This is a practical example of how totals can be laid out in a template.

Sum excl. VAT{Gross}
Discount{Discount}
Subtotal before discount{Subtotal}
VAT{Vat}
Subtotal before discount{GrossIncVat}
Tax reduction{TaxReduction}
Paying before rounding{TotalBeforeRounding}
Rounding{RoundingAdjustment}
Total to pay{Total}
Effective VAT percentage{TotalVatPct}
Currency/price unit{Unit}

5. VAT split with multiple VAT rates

Use a Word table when the document may contain multiple VAT rates. The {VatBreakdown} tag should be in the first cell of the table. The row below acts as a template row and is repeated for each VAT row.

{VatBreakdown}Excl. VATVATIncl. VAT
{VatBreakdownVatPct}{VatBreakdownGross}{VatBreakdownVat}{VatBreakdownGrossIncVat}

6. Short tags in VAT rows

The shorter tags can be used in the VAT breakdown template row, but the prefixed tags above are recommended to avoid confusion with total tags.

{VatBreakdown}Excl. VATVATIncl. VAT
{VatPct}{Gross}{Vat}{GrossIncVat}
