====== 2.01.08 Value-Added Tax ======

The "Value-Added Tax" form administers the percentile for the country-specific value-added tax. These rates are pulled-up for issuing proposals and issuing invoices (see also [[en:handbuch:kapitel_2:2.4.01_angebot|offer]] and [[en:handbuch:kapitel_2:2.4.11_rechnung|invoice]]). Furthermore, these rates are of importance for registering  the vouchers in the module Registration.

**Tip:** Further information on this topic can be found in chapter [[en:handbuch:kapitel_3:3.11.02  Verwaltung von Schlüsseldaten |3.11.02 Administration of Key Data]].

    * **Tax Rate:** Through entering a numerical value here, the percentile of the value-added tax will be defined.
