ACC Cost: document templates: make the tax "base amount" available as a variable

ACC Cost: document templates: make the tax "base amount" available as a variable

When creating document templates in ACC Cost, you can only access these variables related to taxes:

  • Amount
  • Name
  • Rate
  • Type

Imagine 21% tax has to be paid on an item that costs $1.000,00:

  • Amount = $1.000,00 * 21% = $210
  • Name = "21% tax"
  • Rate = 21
  • Type = ?

In Belgium, we also need to know the "Base amount" on which a tax was calculated.

 

You can manually calculate the "Base amount":

Base amount = Amount / (Rate/100)

For example: 

1.000,00 = 210 / (21/100)

 

The problem is that we sometimes need to use a 0% tax rate.
In that case, the Base amount can't be calculated, because it would require dividing by zero.
