Step 3

At this stage, let us explore the concepts below in order to better understand how to proceed further.

              🧠 VAT is a bit more complex than Sales Tax

Input VAT is calculated on the products and services the company BUYS 💱 

Output VAT is calculated on the products and services the company SELLS 💰

✍️ Total VAT = Output VAT - Input VAT

In addition, different products have different tax rates. So, if you have created revenue and cost streams for different products, you can enter the VAT tax rate on a revenue and cost level. 

Step 4

If you anticipate that your VAT tax rate may change over time, select "Yes" and enter different tax rates for different periods. However, if your tax rates remain consistent, you can keep it as a single input. In our case, we select "No" ✅

Step 5

Choose the Frequency at which you fulfill your VAT tax obligations to the government. This can be monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually, based on the regulations in your country. Select the appropriate payment frequency that aligns with your tax obligations.

Let's select "Quarterly" ✅  Click "Next" to finalize the setup of your Value Added Tax calculation in Modeliks. 

📝 Edit your numbers

Keep in mind that blue-colored numbers are editable right at spot, black numbers are calculations and the arrow option allows you to paste the value to the end.

Alternatively, you can click on the edit icon that appears when you hover over the VATs' name to make changes.
