Considerations

  • Check that the goods were sold prior to 1st December 2008.
  • If you have changed your retail prices, you will need to know the price you charged first time around.

Process

  • Once you have decided that you need to credit the goods, you must exit from your current option back to a menu. For example, this should be the "Parts Counter" menu, or the "Stock Control" menu or the "Workshop menu", or "Vehicle Sales" menu.
  • From the menu, press <Alt-V> and you will be asked for the V.A.T. rate.
  • Confirm that you wish to temporally change your V.A.T. rate to the old rate.
  • Go back to the relevant programme and raise the credit note.
  • Once you have completed the credit note, you must exit from your current option back to a menu as before.
  • Your V.A.T. rate will now be reset to current V.A.T. rate.
  • Carry on working as normal.
