Common mistakes
Check invoice amount before withholding
The withholding rate applies to the entered invoice base. Make sure this matches the number you enter.
Keep other agreed deductions consistent
VAT, credits, and treaty rules are excluded unless reflected in the input. Use the same units and time period throughout the calculation.
Do not rely on one invoice withholding tax scenario
Run a cautious case and an optimistic case. The range is often more useful than one exact-looking number.
