Taxes, VAT, and fiscal positions

HAQ ERP’s first localization target is the UK VAT standard scheme.

Tax setup​

Use tax records to define VAT rates such as standard, reduced, zero-rated, exempt, and outside-scope. Keep these categories separate because VAT returns treat them differently.

VAT precedence​

HAQ ERP resolves tax in this order:

  1. Manual line override.
  2. Product setting.
  3. Product category setting.
  4. Partner tax profile.
  5. Tenant default.
  6. Fiscal-position transformation.

Fiscal positions​

Fiscal positions transform taxes and accounts for special cases such as customer location, reverse charge, or cross-border treatment.

VAT MTD​

VAT MTD filing requires period coverage to be locked or closed before the filing is treated as ready. HAQ ERP stores snapshot values for VAT boxes 1–9 and records submission status.
