In many cases, the tax amount on the document is not the actual amount your company can claim. The supported integration between Payhawk and DATEV automatically creates the BU7, BU8, and BU9 VAT rates. However, you can add your own, custom VAT rates (BU codes) in Payhawk.
All of your VAT rates will appear on your Expenses screen. When a new expense is created, it will use the default VAT rate from the expense category. You can set default VAT rates in the categories.
