Change VAT on a POS Line

An authorised user can change the VAT category on a single saved order line in the POS. The change applies to that line; it does not change the product group or future purchases.

Establish the correct treatment

First determine the appropriate VAT. A customer cannot choose a different rate simply to simplify an invoice. Check uncertain cases with your accountant and the Swedish Tax Authority guidance. Correct recurring product errors through the product group.

Change a line's VAT

1. Open the unpaid tab.
2. Click the item row to open its details.
3. Select Moms (VAT). This tab appears for users with permission when the line belongs to a saved tab.
4. Check the current category and rate.
5. Select Ny momskategori (New VAT category).
6. Enter Anledning (obligatoriskt) (Required reason), using at least three characters. Clearly explain the actual correction.
7. Save using the button at the bottom and check the tab after confirmation.

If the line is not yet saved, return to the tab and ensure it is saved before retrying. If the VAT tab is missing, ask an authorised person for help.

Effect of the change

• Only the selected line's VAT category and VAT change.
• The product's normal settings remain.
• Other order lines are unaffected.
• The line retains its manual VAT category if the tab's format changes later.

Changing VAT category is not a discount. Check price and VAT separately.

Recurring errors

Open Admin → Meny → Produkter → Alla artiklar and check Varugrupp (Accounting product group). Change the group's type under Bokföring → Verifikat & export → Varugrupper. This corrects the starting point for future purchases.

Changing VAT on a new tab does not correct an already-paid receipt. Follow your restaurant's correction routine for the original purchase.
