Can I turn off VAT on a purchase invoice?

BrightBooks doesn't have a single on/off switch for VAT. VAT on a purchase is controlled by the VAT code used.

  • One invoice: open the purchase invoice and change its VAT code to a 0% code (for example Z 0%). You can only do this while the invoice isn't locked.
  • All future invoices from one supplier: open the supplier's record, go to the Invoice Settings tab and set the Default VAT Code to a 0% code.
  • To see or add VAT codes: go to Settings > VAT > VAT Rates.

For more on VAT settings, see the VAT article.

Also known as: turn off VAT on a supplier invoice, remove VAT from a purchase invoice, zero-rate a purchase invoice, no VAT on supplier invoice, stop VAT being added to a bill.
