Round-off Sales Invoice Value Under GCC VAT

As per law, the VAT amount must be calculated on the VAT rate applicable for each stock item. In accordance with this, in TallyPrime, the VAT amount gets calculated on the VAT rate applied for each stock item. However, you might notice a difference in decimal value between the total of VAT amount calculated on each stock item, and the VAT amount calculated on the total taxable value of all the stock items. In such cases, you can use an expense ledger in the invoice, to round-off the difference in the decimal value.
