Frequently Asked Questions (VAT)

Does Invoixca calculate taxes automatically?

Yes. In the 'Finalize' step, enter your tax rate (percentage) and Invoixca automatically calculates the tax amount based on your subtotal. The tax amount, rate, and resulting total are clearly displayed on the PDF invoice.

Can I apply different tax rates to different line items?

Currently, Invoixca applies a single tax rate to the invoice subtotal. For complex multi-rate tax scenarios, you can add tax as a separate line item with the appropriate amount and label (e.g., 'VAT 20%' or 'GST 10%').

Does Invoixca support VAT invoicing?

Yes. You can add your VAT registration number to your business details, set the VAT rate in the tax field, and the generated invoice will display all VAT-compliant information including the VAT amount breakdown.

Does Invoixca support GST invoicing?

Yes. Invoixca supports GST calculations for countries like India, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and Singapore. Enter your GST registration number and rate, and the system calculates GST amounts automatically.

Can I add withholding tax to invoices?

Yes. You can include withholding tax by adding it as a deduction line item or using the notes field to specify withholding tax requirements. The discount field can also be used to reflect withholding tax deductions from the total.

Does Invoixca generate tax-ready reports?

Pro and Business plan users have access to the Financial Dashboard which provides revenue reports, payment tracking, and invoice summaries that can be used for tax preparation. Export these reports for your accountant or tax filing.
