Notes:
- When creating Sales and Purchase Orders, Khaos Control uses the country table to determine whether or not it should apply tax to the sales order. The Company pays tax checkbox will override the result of that check and stop tax being charged. Under current VAT legislation, it is difficult to envisage circumstances in which you would NOT tick the *Company pays tax checkbox.
- It is not possible to change a Tax Reference against an invoice once it has been stamped.
- Only orders raised after a Tax Reference is provided will have the tax reference attributed to them.
