Activate automatic VAT scanning

When the account has the VAT code	This happens
Manual	Expense reads the total VAT on the receipt and suggests the amount
Another VAT code	The VAT is calculated according to the VAT code, not from the receipt

✏️ Users and administrators can always change the VAT amount if the reading is wrong.

👉 Applies to: administrators who set up the chart of accounts.

✅ The VAT is now read automatically when the account is used.

💡 Repeat for all accounts where the VAT varies between receipts.

⚠️ Representation is handled with representation templates, not with VAT scanning. See Representation – representation types.

When is the VAT read automatically?
When the account has the VAT code Manual.

Can I change the VAT amount?
Yes, it can always be adjusted manually.

Can VAT scanning replace representation templates?
No. For representation, you should still use representation templates.

With VAT scanning, Expense reads the VAT directly from the receipt. You activate it per account by setting the VAT code Manual in the chart of accounts. It reduces manual work and gives more accurate VAT.
