# Show VAT on your invoices

## Learn how to add your VAT number and set tax rates on your products so VAT shows correctly on every invoice you send.

If you're VAT registered, your customers' finance teams will usually need to see your VAT number and the VAT on what they're paying for. eola adds both to your invoices automatically once they're set up, so there's nothing extra to do each time you send one.

**Add your VAT and company numbers**

1. Go to Toolset -\> Centre settings
2. Scroll down to **Legal info**
3. Add your **VAT number** and **Company number**
4. Save your changes

These appear on every invoice you send from then on.

**Set a tax rate on your products**

To set the tax rate on an activity:

1. Go to Products -\> Activities
2. Select 'Edit' on the activity
3. Go to the Pricing step and open **Financials**
4. Under 'Tax rates to apply to this activity', choose the rate that applies, such as 20% VAT, Exempt, Out of scope or Zero
5. Click Save and exit

Do the same for any rentals or accommodation you invoice for. You'll find the tax rate in the Financials section of their Pricing step.

**How VAT shows on the invoice**

Each invoice shows the tax rate for each item and the tax included in the total. Your prices stay the same for your customer, and the invoice shows how much of what they're paying is VAT.

**Good to know**

- Set your tax rates before you raise an invoice. An invoice that has already been sent keeps the rates it was created with
- If you're not sure which rate applies to a product, your accountant is best placed to advise

**Helpful tips:**

- Check the tax rate on your most popular group and school activities first, as these are the ones you're most likely to invoice for
- Add your VAT number before you send your first invoice so every invoice is complete from the start
- Use the same tax rates across similar products to keep your reporting consistent
