How to Apply Discounts & Taxes

The Discounts and Taxes section enables you to apply pricing adjustments and calculate accurate GST on your invoices, ensuring compliant and transparent billing. Applying discounts allows you to offer promotional pricing, early payment incentives, volume discounts, or negotiate special rates whilst maintaining proper documentation for accounting and tax purposes.

Exacc supports both percentage-based and fixed-amount discounts at the invoice level or individual line item level. The system automatically recalculates totals when discounts are applied, ensuring GST is calculated on the discounted amount rather than the original price. You can add descriptive labels to discounts so customers clearly understand the adjustments on their invoices.

Tax configuration includes multiple GST rates compliant with Australian tax regulations, including standard 10% GST, GST-free items for exports and certain foods, input-taxed classifications for financial services, and no-GST options for non-resident customers. The system maintains accurate GST records for Business Activity Statement reporting and automatically calculates tax liabilities based on your discount and pricing structures.
