As indicated in Application Support Note 23237544 (1st January 2010 - UK VAT Rate Changes), the increase in standard VAT rate from 15.00% to 17.50% on 1st January 2010 may result in you needing to consult the guidance supplied by HMRC to assist you with determining the correct rate of VAT to apply to orders received prior to 1st January 2010. Examples of this would typically include pre-paid sales orders which can not be shipped until after 31st December 2009 and orders for which a total price including VAT has been agreed at 15.00% but due to shipment and payment timing will now need to be inclusive of VAT at 17.50%.

The interface for these changes has been provided as a right-click option from the Sales Orders tab of the Sales Order Monitor.
