Journal Entry VAT Fields

Journal entry line items now accept optional vat_code and vat_type fields on POST /journal-entries and PUT /journal-entries/{id}, letting you record VAT on individual lines.

{
  "items": [
    {
      "account_code": "4000",
      "amount": { "amount": "100", "currency": "USD" },
      "side": "CREDIT",
      "vat_code": "GB_VAT_STANDARD",
      "vat_type": "Revenue"
    }
  ]
}

• vat_code is the code or description of an existing VAT rate configured for the journal entry subsidiary's country.
• vat_type is required whenever vat_code is provided, and accepts Revenue, Revenues, Expense, or Expenses (case-insensitive).
• VAT is always treated as inclusive of the line amount.
• Your organization must have an account with the "Sales Tax Liability" subtype in its chart of accounts; otherwise the request returns a 400 error.
