VAT in Sales

VAT is included in both the sales and purchases for your business. There are different methods in which VAT is calculated on sales, according to the region and VAT treatment of your customers and vendors. In Zoho invoice, VAT treatment of your contact is taken into account and the VAT associated with the item is automatically populated. Making it simple for your accounting purposes.
