ShopIntegrator’
s new ecommerce features offer merchants the latest management tools to help in the smooth running of VAT invoice generation and provision of multi-rate tax bands for goods with mixed rates of tax. A VAT invoice must be provided by any businesses registered for VAT selling goods and services to someone also registered for VAT. Businesses of all sizes need to ensure that they fully grasp the fundamentals of VAT (Value Added Tax) invoicing.
VAT can be complex but understanding and employing the mandatory rules and regulations required by HMRC is vital. In the UK HMRC insists that VAT invoices contains specific information, for example every item on the invoice must include unit price excluding VAT, rate of VAT applicable to the item being sold, quantity of items, the rate of any cash discount and the total amount of VAT charged for each tax rate. Furthermore invoices must provide invoice date, description of goods supplied, customers name and address, sellers name, address and VAT registration number and a unique invoice number.
Utilising available management tools can help streamline core business transactions in areas such as order processing and invoicing. ShopIntegrator’

ShopIntegrator’
s VAT invoice generation feature offers merchants the ability to produce multifunctional documents with integrated shipping address labels, enabling merchants to simplify and speed up invoicing and order processing. Being able to print orders with integrated shipping labels together with invoices prevents mistakes like processing the wrong paperwork with customers’ goods and enables merchants to handle growing numbers of customer orders by streamlining and expediting essential processes.
In addition ShopIntegrator has also introduced a Multi-rate Tax Band function
http://www.shopintegrator.com/feature/shopping-cart-tax-c.... This invaluable ecommerce feature is perfect for merchants selling goods with varied tax rates. Merchants are now able to set up multiple tax rate bands so products with differing rates of tax can be charged the correct rate. The UK’s HMRC attaches distinct rates of VAT for different goods and services. Currently companies in the UK that are registered for VAT charge the standard rate of 20% on all goods or services with the exception of those that are exempt from VAT or that fall into the reduced rate of 5% or the zero rate tax band. This is where the goods or services are taxable but the VAT rate is 0%.
ShopIntegrator’
s Multi-rate Tax Band feature enables merchants to sell mixed packs containing products with different VAT rates, for example a merchant selling a combination of a child’s car seat together with an in-car DVD player. Such a package contains items with different rates of VAT. The child’s car seat is taxable at the reduced rate of 5% VAT and the in-car DVD player is taxable at the standard rate. As a general rule the HMRC would require the total consideration of the package apportioned to reflect the differing rates of VAT.
