Getting Started with VAT - Kenya

The master experience has been enhanced such that you can configure statutory details and get started with  the transactions within no time.

The enhancements in masters and the steps to configure masters are explained below:

It is now possible to create a tax ledger under current assets or current liabilities, and the ledger can now exhibit the properties of a ledger grouped under duties and taxes.

Appropriation of ledgers

You can now appropriate the ledger to the cost of the item from the ledger master screen, instead of the group.

Default accounting entries
