Setting up VAT for Events

VAT taxation for an event involves applying VAT to event functions and hotel rooms. After defining VAT tax codes, you can enter the tax codes for individual event functions and hotel rooms.

Note: Because services are consumed in the country in which they are delivered, all customers are considered taxable.
