(presumes UK-based, by use of "VAT") Are you asking if your business should register for VAT, or if you should set VAT up within SQL Ledger? If the latter, then if you're VAT registered, you need to track VAT somewhere. It seems pointless to me to do it anywhere but the main ledger. If the former, then your accountant would be a better person to ask - but my personal take would be to ask if your customers will typically be VAT registered themselves. If so, then it's a no-brainer. VAT registration doesn't add to your cost to the customer, but reduces your costs. -- Adrian Chapman Director, Trivas Ltd 07796 690210 - 01582 380021 Business on the Move Mobility - Messaging - Infrastructure - Security - Remote Access ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: High Quality Requirements in a Collaborative Environment.
