How to: Set Up VAT Clauses
You set up a VAT clause to describe information about the type of VAT that is being applied. The information may be required by government regulation. After you set up a VAT clause, and associate it with a VAT posting setup, the VAT clause is displayed on all printed sales documents which have that VAT posting setup group, such as a sales invoice.
