If you have a supplier which is always at 0% Tax, but the Tax Code differs from the one set in your Accountancy Settings, you can do so by setting this 0% Rate in your Supplier similar to the above.
For example, if your Accountancy Settings have a Tax Free Rate of 0% - Exempt Expenses, but this individual supplier needs to apply 0% No VAT, you can set the No VAT rate in the supplier profile. This will automatically apply the No VAT rate on any bills that are received, regardless if they are taxed or tax free.
