I’m probably missing something here, but one of our stock ingredients was input without VAT when setting up Breww. having just placed an order for more of the item I realised my error however cant see VAT option.

does this mean i need to Obsolete the stock item and create a new one?

Hi Chris, thanks for your comment! You will be able to update the VAT on the supplier supplying the stock stock item. If you head to **Stock items** and select the stock item, there will be a tab called **Suppliers**. If you then select the edit pencil on the supplier, you will be able to update the **Supplier charges VAT** and **Supplier item VAT rate** fields. You can also do this by heading to the main **Supplier** page via **Stock items** → **Suppliers** → **View suppliers**. You can then select the supplier followed by **Supplied products** , where you can change the VAT rate for a stock item. Cheers!

thanks for that Ben, I think getting to grips with the navigation is one of the biggest steps in Breww.

Hi - I entered my stock items without VAT, it is 0% in the PO but it is now being added in the IR. I can’t see why. I can’t change it in the inventory receipt and when it goes through to Xero the prices all have VAT and I have to remove it. It has been doing this for the last couple of weeks. I am not sure why!
