Deposit receipt for VAT – Feature presentation

Deposit receipt for VAT – Feature presentation

The problem

In certain business transactions, the VAT on a receipt must be calculated separately – for example, for down payments, deposits, or special tax cases. Previously, this had to be done manually: calculating the amount, creating a new invoice, entering the item, and linking the vehicle – time-consuming and prone to errors.

The solution

With one click, CATAMA automatically creates a separate deposit slip for the 19% VAT of the original receipt.

Here's how it works

In the invoice editor → Save dropdown → “+ Deposit receipt via VAT” → Confirm → Done!
The system automatically creates:
  • New invoice with the same customer
  • Divers item with VAT amount (e.g. “Deposit over VAT to document WA1234”)
  • Automatic vehicle linking
  • 0% VAT rate (since it's a deposit)
  • Reference in the footer to the original document

The advantages

Save time: 30 seconds instead of 5 minutes of manual work
Avoid errors: No typos in amounts or receipt numbers
Complete: Vehicle is automatically linked
Traceable: Clear reference to the original receipt

Availability

  • For all invoices (drafts and invoiced documents)
  • Not applicable to offers, credit notes, or orders
  • Prerequisite: 19% VAT must be present in the original receipt
Areas of application: Workshop down payments, deposit settlements, special tax cases, installment payment models
