Hi,
We, a Belgian company, are using SuiteCRM for our invoices. For the calculation of VAT in Belgium, VAT is a percentage of the total invoice amount.
For example:
Product 1: 21,25 EUR
Product 2: 22,83 EUR
Service: 8,30 EUR
Total invoice: 52,38 EUR -> 21% VAT (= 52,38 x 0,21) = 10,9998 = 11,00 EUR VAT
It seems however, SuiteCRM calculates VAT per product/service and rounds numbers per line:
Product 1: 21,25 EUR -> 21% VAT (= 21,25 x 0,21) = 4,4625 = 4,46 EUR VAT
Product 2: 22,83 EUR -> 21% VAT (= 22,83 x 0,21) = 4,7943 = 4,79 EUR VAT
Service: 8,3 EUR -> 21% VAT (= 8,3 x 0,21) = 1,7430 = 1,74 EUR VAT
Total invoice: 52,38 EUR
Total VAT (sum of rounded VAT per line) = 10,99 EUR VAT
In the above example, the difference is one eurocent.
Of course, with multiple products, services and invoices, this will make a bigger difference.
Regulation in Belgium is strict about this: VAT needs to be calculated correctly and rounded on the invoice total, not as a sum of rounded products/services.
In other words, we might get into trouble unless we intervene manually on every invoice.
Is there a way to calculate this correctly automatically?
Thanks in advance,
Nick
