Troubleshooting: "NO VAT" in ApprovalMax when publishing invoices from Dext using the "extracted" VAT amount

When you publish invoices from Dext with the "extracted" VAT amount option, these invoices sometimes appear in ApprovalMax as having "NO VAT" associated with them. This issue typically occurs when the default tax rate in the Xero settings for the account code has been set to "No VAT."

To resolve this issue, you can overwrite the default settings in Xero by specifying the default tax for Costs directly in Dext on the Integration page. By doing this, you can ensure that the correct default tax settings from Dext will be applied when choosing the "extracted" VAT amount option on the Dext side.


By adjusting the default tax settings in Dext, invoices published from Dext to ApprovalMax will accurately reflect the intended tax treatment based on the extracted VAT amount.
