VAT Rate Changes

In the New Year the VAT rates will be returning to their previous level of 17.5. Please ensure you change your rates before you invoice week 1. The Ceres/400 software package the VAT rates are held as follows.

The following menu map from the Ceres/400 Master Menu will get you into the VAT rates maintenance.

• 9 – Application Support
• 1 – Master File Maintenance

• 1 – VAT Rates Maintenance

Within this program you select your option (they are displayed on screen) and which VAT code you wish to work with. In most cases VAT code 1 will be the current 15.0%, although you should double check this before changing it.

Once the VAT rate has been changed another program needs to be stepped through to ensure this new VAT rate is picked up by all programs.

Go into the following menu map, again from the Ceres/400 Master Menu.

• 1 - Bakery Specific
• 7 – Controls and Generics
• 3 – Controls
• 1 – Bakery Computing Control

This completes the VAT rate maintenance.
