FriPos for VAT-registered restaurants

How FriPos works out the VAT

In the admin screen, open Settings. On the "Shop" card, enter your Tax ID in "Tax ID (13 digits)", tick "Shop is VAT-registered (Por Por 20) — enable abbreviated tax invoices" and tap Save. From then on:

If you don't add tax on top of your prices ("Tax %" under "Rates" in Settings is 0), your prices are treated as including VAT. FriPos works out the VAT for each receipt: VAT = amount × 7 ÷ 107, to two decimals. The value before VAT is the amount minus the VAT.
When a bill is split and paid in parts, each payment has its own receipt, and the VAT is worked out on the amount of that payment.
If you add tax on top of your prices ("Tax %" is more than 0), the tax you add is the VAT.
If your shop is not VAT-registered, nothing changes.

The sample bill on this page is ฿1,070: VAT = 1,070 × 7 ÷ 107 = 70.00, and the value before VAT is 1,000.00.

Receipts are abbreviated tax invoices

The receipt of a VAT-registered shop is an abbreviated tax invoice. At the top it shows "TAX INV (ABB)" in Thai and English, your Tax ID and a receipt number. Under TOTAL, two lines show "Value before VAT" and "VAT 7%".

The receipt for the sample bill of 1,070 baht paid in cash: TAX INV (ABB), Tax ID and receipt number at the top, and under TOTAL the lines Value before VAT 1,000.00 and VAT 7% 70.00 — The sample bill of ฿1,070, paid in cash

When guests split the bill, each payment gets its own receipt with its own number, and the VAT on each receipt is worked out on that payment. Here the same ฿1,070 is paid as ฿500 in cash and ฿570 by PromptPay: VAT 32.71 and VAT 37.29. The two add up to 70.00.

The receipt for the first payment of the split bill: this payment 500 baht in cash, Value before VAT 467.29, VAT 7% 32.71, remaining 570 baht — First payment: ฿500 in cash

The receipt for the second payment of the split bill: this payment 570 baht by PromptPay, Value before VAT 532.71, VAT 7% 37.29 — Second payment: ฿570 by PromptPay

These pictures are drawn from exactly what the FriPos Android app (version 259) sends to the receipt printer. Receipts printed from the browser version have the same VAT lines.

Full tax invoices

When a customer asks for a full tax invoice, open the paid bill (on the register: ⋮ > "Today’s orders", or in the admin screen: "Receipt records") and tap "Full tax invoice". Enter the customer's company name, address and Tax ID, or take a photo of their business card or company document and FriPos's AI fills them in. Check them and tap "Issue tax invoice". Full tax invoices are part of the Starter plan and the plans above it.

This is the full tax invoice for the same ฿1,070 bill, issued to a sample company. It has its own running number for the month (IV2610-0001), the number of the receipt as the reference, and the VAT shown separately from the price. It opens as an A4 PDF that you can print or save, and the Android app can also print it on the receipt printer.

Cash-up

At closing, the cash-up screen shows three more lines right under "Sales": "Sales incl. VAT", "VAT 7%" and "Sales excl. VAT". The printed cash-up report shows the same three lines in its summary.

The printed cash-up report for the sample day: the cash-up with sales, float, expected cash and the cash count, and in the summary Sales incl. VAT 1,070.00, VAT 7% 70.00 and Sales excl. VAT 1,000.00 — The printed cash-up report (Android app, version 259)

When you close, the daily report on LINE shows the same three lines. They are also in last month's summary that comes with the first report of each month.

Sales board

In the admin screen, go to Sales and open "Sales board". For the period you choose, the breakdown has a "VAT 7%" row and a "Sales excl. VAT" row. "Net sales (received)" is the money received, with VAT included.

The VAT on the cash-up, the sales board, the LINE daily report and the CSV files is the VAT of each receipt added up, so the totals match your receipts.

CSV files

Each table on the sales board can be downloaded as a CSV file ("Breakdown CSV", "Day CSV", "Bill CSV" and the others). For a VAT-registered shop, the files have a "VAT 7%" column and a "Sales excl. VAT" column. The two files below are the ones FriPos made for the sample day, unchanged. Each file ends with the conditions it was made with (the period, what was left out, and when it was made).
