Some VAT tables on invoices contain names rather than numeric values for tax rates. For example, a UK invoice may use the phrase STD instead of 20%. Similarly, they may use ZERO when an amount is not charged tax.

These settings enable you to map these phrases. The following settings are available.

Index

Tax Rate Name

Ignore Characters
