The following reports all use the tax figures uploaded from the till and are the ones that should be used for vat returns:
Tax Sales
Tax Sales by Site
Tax Sales by Till
The Tax Sales reports, above, contain the total tax charged at the till when the sale was finalised. This should be the most accurate, since it will be the cumulative total of the tax tables printed on the bottom of every receipt.
However, if the tax wasn't configured correct at the time then it would be difficult to retrospectively rectify it. NOTE: if you are using features such as tax shifting or manual tax keys, then this is the only type of tax report that you can use.
The other tax reports eg PLU Tax Sales are based on the tax rates configured against the PLUs and then recalculated based on the PLU sales. It comes with the advantage that you can see and confirm how the data is arrived at and can retrospectively make changes to items to put them right. NOTE: if you are using features such as tax shifting or manual tax keys, then you cannot use this type of tax report.
