Can I calculate and add on VAT to a final figure calculated in Acrobat DC Forms

[gkaiseril]

Yes you can. What is the computation on paper?

Thanks for your reply. This is an order form and set for user to check their requirements and type in cost of each item required. The form is set to automatically calculating the total in a net value section. There is another area in the form where the net value appears with a section to add on the VAT showing the total including VAT.

I think the question was more about the actual VAT rate in your country... Let's say it's 15% and the name of the pre-tax field is "Total", and the post-tax field is called "TotalPlusTax". Go to the Properties of the latter field, and under the Calculate tab select the second option (Simple Field Notation) and enter this into it:

Total * 1.15

Hi, thank you, our VAT is 20%, I have set the calculation to add the net value, plus VAT to the Final Total. I have entered Total*1.20 in the (Simple Field Notation)

The amount of VAT needs to show in a separate box, the amount will be variable as there is potential for differing total values depending on the users selections.

We seem to be one step behind each other... See my previous reply.

Hi Thank you. This may be operator error, sop apologies in case it is. I have entered all as mentioned and there is no total appearing or the value of the VAT.

Hi, I seem to be missing a calculation between the net total and vat

What are the actual names of the fields involved in this calculation? Also, press Ctrl+J and check if there any error messages in the window that opens.

Do you want to show the tax in a separate field, or just show the total without tax in one field and with in another?

[GunnyM]

Hi, thanks for your reply. Yes, I want to show the net value in one box, then below that the value of the tax, then below that the total including VAT. I can show you a snip of the area in discussion, can I add an image to this discussion?

In that case use this code for the VAT field:

Total * 0.15

And then as the last field do a sum of Total and VAT (or the code provided above, either one will work).
