No-Show Fee VAT Code on Invoices

When a no-show fee's VAT % is set to 0% under Tax Settings, the invoice and invoice PDF now show the item with the ATK VAT code instead of a plain "0%" — matching proper Hungarian invoicing practice. This article covers where that setting lives, what changes on the invoice, and how AAM accounts are handled.

Why This Changed

Showing a flat "0%" for a no-show fee isn't illegal, but it isn't professionally accurate — the correct code is ATK (Áfa tárgyi Hatályán Kívüli — "outside the scope of VAT"). SabeeApp now applies this code automatically wherever it applies.

How It Works

  1. Go to Settings → General Settings → Tax Settings.
  2. Find the No-show fee VAT % dropdown.
  3. If it's set to 0%, the invoice and invoice PDF show the no-show fee line item with the ATK code instead of plain "0%".
  4. A preview panel appears to the right of the dropdown, showing exactly which code will be used on the invoice for that line item — so you can confirm the result before it's applied anywhere.

What Stays the Same

The Folio, invoice list view, and exports (including NAV) continue to display the no-show fee as 0%, exactly as before. Only the invoice and invoice PDF representation switches to ATK.

Special Case: AAM Accounts

If your account is set to AAM (Alanyi Adómentes — VAT-exempt entity), the no-show fee always shows the AAM code on the invoice, no matter which No-show fee VAT % option is selected — whether it's set to follow the accommodation fee VAT or the 0% option. This is the same logic already used for city tax.

Important Notes

  • This change affects the invoice and invoice PDF only — the Folio, invoice list view, and NAV exports all continue showing 0%.
  • The switch to ATK happens automatically once the No-show fee VAT % is set to 0% — there's no separate toggle to turn it on or off.
  • AAM accounts override this entirely: the no-show fee always shows AAM, regardless of the No-show fee VAT % setting.
  • The previous flat "0%" display was never non-compliant — ATK is simply the more precise code.

Best Practices

  • Check the preview panel next to the No-show fee VAT % dropdown under Tax Settings before finalizing your configuration, so you know exactly which code will appear on invoices.
  • If your account is AAM, you don't need to choose a specific No-show fee VAT % for this purpose — the invoice will always show AAM regardless.
  • Review a recently issued no-show fee invoice if your account uses the 0% VAT option, to confirm it now reflects the ATK code as expected.

Troubleshooting

Invoice shows ATK instead of 0% for a no-show fee. Expected — this happens automatically whenever the No-show fee VAT % is set to 0%.

Folio or NAV export still shows 0% for the no-show fee. Expected — only the invoice and invoice PDF switch to ATK; the Folio, invoice list view, and exports keep showing 0%.

No-show fee shows AAM instead of the VAT % you selected. Expected if your account is set to AAM — the no-show fee always displays AAM regardless of the No-show fee VAT % option chosen.

Not sure which code will show before saving. Check the preview panel to the right of the No-show fee VAT % dropdown under Settings → General Settings → Tax Settings — it shows the exact code that will be used.

Result

No-show fee invoices with a 0% VAT setting now carry the accurate ATK code instead of a flat 0%, with a settings preview to confirm the outcome before it's applied — and AAM accounts continuing to show AAM automatically, bringing invoices and NAV submissions in line with proper Hungarian VAT practice.
