How to Manage Tax Rates

📂 Category: General

In Buscoou PRO, you can configure unlimited tax rates for invoices, estimates, and proposals, ensuring compliance with different tax regulations.

Step 1: Creating a New Tax Rate

1. Navigate to Setup -> Finance -> Tax Rates.

2. Click New Tax (top left button).

3. Fill in the following details:

   ✅ Tax Name – A descriptive name for the tax (e.g., VAT, GST, Sales Tax).
   ✅ Tax Rate – Enter the percentage value (e.g., 10%, 15%, 20%).

4. Click Save.

📌 Once created, the tax will be available in the dropdown menu for each item (in invoices, estimates, proposals, etc.).

Step 2: Understanding Tax Application

• Once a tax is applied to an item, updating the tax rate later will not change previously recorded transactions.
• Taxes must be manually assigned to each item when creating an invoice/estimate.

Step 3: Hiding Tax Per Item (Consolidated Tax Display)

By default, Buscoou PRO displays tax per item in invoices/estimates. However, you can choose to hide the per-item tax and show a total tax amount at the bottom of the invoice/estimate.

To disable tax per item:

1. Navigate to Setup -> Settings -> Finance.
2. Set Show TAX per item (Invoices/Estimates) = NO.
3. Click Save.

📌 Note: Even if the per-item tax is hidden, you must still assign tax rates to items for proper tax calculations.

Step 4: Customizing Tax Display in PDF Invoices/Estimates

• If using custom PDF templates, ensure the tax logic is not removed for this setting to work correctly.
• You can modify templates to fit your business needs, regardless of whether Show TAX per item is enabled or disabled.
