Xero Tax Support

QAP supports importing tax codes from Xero®. Tax can be calculated as inclusive or exclusive of the invoice total.

Tax Exclusive

In this workflow, tax amounts are auto-calculated based on the tax code. The tax amount is then added to the subtotal to make the invoice total. To do this:

1. Set Tax Calculation as Exclusive.
2. Select a Tax Code.
3. Code the Subtotal and the Tax Amount will automatically populate.

In this example, the Tax Amount is automatically coded as $82.50 based on the Tax Code Tax on Consulting - 8.25%.

Tax Inclusive

In this workflow, the tax amount is included in the invoice subtotal. To do this:

1. Set Tax Calculation as Inclusive.
2. Select a Tax Code.
3. Code the Subtotal.

In this example, the Tax Amount field is $0.00 as the Tax Calculation is set as Inclusive.

Please note that coding a tax amount when using the inclusive tax workflow will result in an error when submitting invoices for approval.
