Hi, when exporting and then importing chart of accounts via an iif file the VAT Code isn't exported to the iff file and so isn't imported to the new file. Can this manually be added? If so what is the code? I've tried SalesTaxCode and VATCode but the don't work.

Hi legalnumbers It's not possible to include the VAT code when export/importing the chart of accounts, the codes will have to be added manually once the list has been imported. We will of course submit a product enhancement request to our developers for their consideration and we encourage you to leave feedback from within the product.

Hello Legalnumbers, 

 

Welcome to the Community page, 

 

So we cant tell you what VAT code to select, if your unsure then ask and speak to a trained and qualified accountant who will be able to advise you what you put down. So on income chart of accounts you cannot have a default tax code but on expenses, right click on the one in Question> VAT code> select the correct code.  You cant however set a default tax code in the item list.

Sorry perhaps I wasn't clear enough. My question is not which VAT code to use but how export and then import the VAT Code which is already in the file I currently use and which I want to export to another file. 

 

The 'code' I was referring to in my question is the field code that must be put in the header of an iif file for the field to import. What is the header code for VAT codes when importing a list of accounts?
