VAT/GST/sales tax rates in predictions

Learn how Futrli applies VAT/GST/Sales tax when you create manual predictions and how to override the default rate when required.

Written by Futrli Support

Futrli automatically calculates VAT/GST/Sales tax for manual predictions. You enter prediction values excluding tax, and Futrli calculates the tax and updates the affected accounts automatically.


Set a default VAT/GST/sales tax rate

Each forecast has a default VAT/GST/Sales tax rate.

When you create a prediction, Futrli applies this rate automatically. If required, you can override it for an individual prediction without changing the forecast's default setting.


Enter prediction values excluding VAT/GST/Sales tax

Always enter prediction amounts excluding VAT/GST/Sales tax.

Futrli automatically:

  • Calculates the VAT/GST/Sales tax

  • Updates the selected income or expense account

  • Updates the VAT/GST/Sales tax account

  • Updates the relevant bank or balancing account based on the selected cash flow payment treatment


Preview the impact of the prediction

Use the Accounts impacted tab to see how your prediction affects each account before you save it.

EXAMPLE: If you create a prediction for £100 with a 20% VAT rate, the preview shows:

  • £100 posted to the selected sales account

  • £20 posted to the VAT/GST/Sales tax account

  • £120 posted to the relevant bank or balancing account
