Tax rounding is typically only necessary if required by legislation in your country.

You would typically use this if rounding is required because of the non-existence of small denomination coins (e.g. if the smallest denomination in your currency is 5, rather than 1 or 2).

If you select to round both the tax value and the invoice value, then rounding is first applied to the tax value.

Enter the monetary or local unit of currency to which you want to round tax and invoice values.

For example, if your smallest monetary unit of currency is 5 cents, then you would probably enter 5 in this field. If you are using the Point of Sale system, you may need to give change to customers. You can therefore not round invoices to a monetary unit that is less than the smallest coin available (e.g. you would not round to 1 or 2 cents if the smallest available coin is 5 cents).

Indicate if withholding tax is required.

Withholding tax is where the purchaser is responsible for remitting the tax portion of the purchase to the tax office (i.e. the purchaser makes one payment to the supplier of the goods/services purchased and another payment to the tax office for the withholding tax portion of the transaction).

Indicate when withholding tax should be calculated.

Select the companies/suppliers to which withholding tax is applicable.

Select the relevant expense type against which withholding tax must be applied.
