→ When Should VAT / GST / INPS and Surcharges Be Applied on an Invoice?

When editing an invoice after creating an order, you can choose to apply certain taxes or additional fees based on the country, work arrangement, and customer requirements. Below are common scenarios:

VAT - Value Added Tax (applicable in Vietnam): 
• If you’re a member in Vietnam and need to issue a financial invoice for business customers, Mokrica will assist in issuing an official VAT invoice on your behalf. 

GST - Goods and Services Tax:
• Applies in countries like Australia, Canada, Singapore, etc. 
• If you’re an international member operating outside Vietnam, you can issue invoices with GST for your customers (if required by local laws). 

INPS - Istituto Nazionale Previdenza Sociale (Italy): 
• This is a mandatory social security or contribution fee in some European countries (especially Italy) for freelancers. 
• Select this only if you’re in a country where this regulation applies.  

Surcharges - Additional Fees Based on Customer Requests: 
• These cover costs like printing, document delivery, or extra services requested by the customer (beyond translation costs). 
• Surcharges can be added case-by-case, allowing you to flexibly reflect additional costs on the invoice. 

In Summary: 
• In Vietnam: Mokrica supports issuing VAT invoices when needed. 
• International Members: You can add taxes like GST or INPS if applicable to your country of residence. 
• Surcharges: Optional fees are applied for extra services beyond translation
