How can I retain one more value

[ThePolovsky]

hi guys,

I need help with a situation.

I charge a final price to my client, but for customer-company I have to hold 9.2% of the value for the customer to deliver state.

As I created a "Custom Customer Fields" where I ask if it is business customer to select.

I would like to know if it is possible for customers who select this option to retain automatically 9.2% on all generated invoices.

Hi,

Right out the box WHMCS can't support it. You'll need to develop a custom solution.

Your problem looks very similar to Australian withholding for credit notes and Italian invoices towards Public Administrations. I had to deal with both of them and well... good luck 😨

Anyway what do you mean when you say you have to hold 9.2%?

Also keep in mind that probably you don't want to base the entire thing on a select that customers can freely change especially if it can be abused to get cheaper prices. I suspect that your country has a webservice like VIES or ABN Lookup that allows you to determine if a customer is a company. You should use it.

What I mean is that in the case of companies we have to retain 9.2% of the value.

Withholding 9.2% means that this amount will not be paid immediately, but the company will have to hand it over to the government.

I will give an example below:

A service costs 45 € with VAT included;
6,86 € is VAT
38.14 € is the price without VAT.

So whmcs has to withhold -4.14 € from 45 € and the customer would only pay 40.86 because it withheld 4.14 €.
