The Logistics and Cash Management module allows to configure the default values for VAT in specific operations:

- **Shipping/Other Services:** Code that identifies the VAT rate to be applied by default in the sales document in the rows regarding the Shipping, Special Services and Discount in Value before VAT;
- **Intracommunity, Exempt and External transactions:** Allows to identify the VAT code for these transactions;
- **Pro rata VAT:** Fiscal years' pro rata rate.

To define the operations' default VAT rates, follow these steps:

1. Access **Administrator | Company | Business Application Foundation | Company Parameters | VAT Rates**;
2. Select the VAT rate for each of the operations;
3. Click **Confirm**.

> [!WARNING]
> The handling of VAT taxable values only applies to Cape Verde and allows to define the item price on which the VAT rate will be based.
