Create a Tax Head for each Tax accounts and link the Tax head with Ledger Account to which the Tax amount would be posted.

Tax Name |
Select the Tax Head Name (e.g VAT) |
Included in Rate |
Set Yes, if the Tax is included in the price. In that case, tax would be automatically computed internally and posted to the ledger. For example if Output Vat 10% is included in price, for a sale value of Rs 100 including VAT, the VT would be computed as 100/11 = 9.09 & Sale Value would be calculated as Rs 90.91 and accordingly the values would be posted to the respective ledger accounts Set No if the Tax is to be separately charged. |
Next, enter the Tax name and breakup of the Tax. For example, if Service Tax is 12.36% and it has 3 components for accounting, Service Tax 12%, Education Surcharge @ 2% on Service Tax & Higher Education tax @ 1% on service Tax, the total service Tax would be 12.36% (12% + 2% of12% + 1% of 12%).
In that case, you will enter following names & rates under Service Tax head
| • | Service Tax - 12.00% |
| • | Education Cess - 00.24% |
| • | Higher Education Cess - 00.12% |
| • | Total- 12.36% |
