Recommendations for Different Situations
Creating Invoices from Sales Orders
-
If the sales order has a 22% VAT rate and is prepaid before July 1st, 2025, creating an invoice after July 1st, 2025 will maintain the 22% VAT rate because Erply does not change existing documents. This is correct because the payment date determines the VAT rate.
-
If the sales order has a 22% VAT rate and is not prepaid, creating an invoice after July 1st will still show the 22% VAT rate. However, the user must manually change the VAT rate to 24% since the payment date determines the VAT transaction.
Credit Invoices
-
Crediting a 2025 invoice will not change the VAT because Erply does not alter existing documents.
Copying Invoices
-
Copying a 2025 invoice from before July 1st will not change the VAT. Therefore, it is the user's responsibility to manually change the VAT rate from 22% to 24%.
Recurring Billing Statements
-
Invoices based on billing orders for services provided before July 1st, 2025 may be issued with 22% VAT.
-
Note: Erply does not automatically update the VAT rate on billing orders. Starting from July 1, 2025, you must manually update the VAT rate on billing orders.

- Open the Tax Rate application.
- Go to the Replace Tax Rate submenu.
- Choose the old VAT rate for the recurring billings.
