How to Create a GST or VAT Rate

To create a GST / VAT rate, follow the procedure below.

If one or more GST / VAT rates have already been created for the same payroll company, take note of the end date of the latest existing GST / VAT rate. If the latest existing GST / VAT rate does not have an end date, you will need to close off the validity period of that GST / VAT rate by setting a validity end date on that GST / VAT rate before you can create a new GST / VAT rate.

1.	Navigate to Payroll > Maintenance > GST Rate. The GST Rate Maintenance screen opens.
2.	Click Add. The GST Rate screen opens.
3.	Next to the Validity Start Date field, click the date button and use the calendar control to select the date on which the GST / VAT rate is to become effective. Note that if there is already a GST / VAT rate for the same payroll country, the date you select must be the day after the validity end date of the last GST / VATrate.
4.	Next to the Validity End Date field, click the date button and use the calendar control to select the date on which the GST / VAT rate is to expire. Alternatively, skip this step if the GST / VAT rate is to remain effective indefinitely.
5.	In the Rate % field, key in the applicable rate. For example, if the GST rate is 10%, key in 10.
6.	Click Save. The GST Rate screen closes and the new GST / VAT rate is saved.
