[InvoiceTaxAmountx]

Available in IInvoices 5-7 and later.

This topic describes how specification of the InvoiceTaxAmount1, InvoiceTaxAmount2, InvoiceTaxAmount3, InvoiceTaxAmount4 field types differs from specification of other field types in Eiglobalextra.ini. Use this field type if you have more than one tax amount that you want to capture.

With the exception of the point below, specify InvoiceTaxAmount using the same settings as other predefined field types.

Extra setting

An extra setting is available for InvoiceTaxAmount: IncludeInTotalAmount indicates if the field value should be included in the total amount on the invoice.

Example:

Two tax amounts are always listed for certain provinces in Canada – Goods & services tax (GST) and Provincial sales tax (PST). The InvoiceTotalVATAmount field type is used for GST, and InvoiceTaxAmount is used for PST.

Important note

Normally InvoiceTotalVATAmount should be used, since ReadSoft Invoices can validate that TotalVatAmount/NetAmount=VATValueN if VATValueN is specified in Eiglobalextra.ini and DoAmountValidation is enabled.

For InvoiceTaxAmount fields, the sum of the net amount, taxes, and delivery costs are only validated against the total amount.
