Proper VAT code management is essential for maintaining accurate tax reporting and regulatory compliance. Errors in VAT configuration can lead to data discrepancies and potential compliance issues.

It's possible to edit and/or delete VAT/Tax and Category codes on AutoEntry, but only if you haven't integrated with an accounting software.

  1. Click Manage Lists to the left of the company homepage screen.

  2. Select either the Categories or VAT Codes tab at the top of the page.

Edit codes

Text boxes are editable. Enter your changes and they’ll save automatically.

Categories fields:

  • Category code

  • Category Name

Vat codes fields:

Delete codes

Click the Delete icon to the right of the code to delete an individual code.

To delete multiple codes, select the checkbox to the left of the relevant codes, then click Delete.
