Hi, I have asked one of our libraries using acquisitions to take a look at the questions, forwarding their answers:
- If you get quoted a price for an item, is that price inclusive or exclusive of tax? * Usually inclusive, fixed retail price. * We do not order much internationally. - Do you want to be able to account for taxes in a separate fund from the fund that pays for the main cost of the item? * No, in my library, we don't need that. - As a library, are there taxes that you would pay when purchasing items that subsequently get refunded at the end of the year? * No, we don't get any refund at the end of the year. - If a vendor gives you a discount, is the discount applied to the pre-tax price or the price that includes tax? * The discount is applied on price including tax. - What factors govern the tax rate that applies to a given item? * It depends on the origin of the vendor (France, European Union, Non European Union), but the German tax law applies I can add to the last question that in Germany different tax rates apply for books/printed materials and electronic resources. Who is next? :) Katrin -- Katrin Fischer Bibliotheksservice-Zentrum Baden-Wuerttemberg (BSZ) 78457 Konstanz / Germany Phone: +49 7531 - 88 4934 E-Mail: katrin.fisc...@bsz-bw.de http://bsz-bw.de > -----Original Message----- > From: koha-boun...@lists.katipo.co.nz [mailto:koha- > boun...@lists.katipo.co.nz] On Behalf Of BOUIS Sonia > Sent: Saturday, January 18, 2014 2:46 PM > To: Galen Charlton > Cc: koha@lists.katipo.co.nz > Subject: Re: [Koha] Prices and tax in koha (also send on koha-devel) > > Hi, > I'm not very fast to answer but I'm still interested by the question so I > will try to answer at Galen's questions and I hope that there'll be several > answers. > - If you get quoted a price for an item, is that price inclusive or > exclusive of tax? > It depends on the vendor : some are giving price including tax and other > not.
