Saudi born patients are exempt from taxes in KSA hospitals and this legislation applies for every billing process, this also applies for those patient payments where their insurance coverage has some limitations and must pay for themselves.
For this type of patients, we have made an adjustment on Cirrus where you can now bill their charges with a VAT 0 rule. Here below you can see how this works and it was configurated.
Cash Discount Insurance Company configuration
First, we have implemented a new button in Business Partner window ( Customer section) , that will allow admins to configurate insurance companies that have this type of payments.
This configuration can be applied for customer type of companies by entering Business Partner window, then performing the company search and accessing it from the list of results:
Now, in Customer tab you will find the Is Cash Discount Insurance Company field, verify that it has been marked already, if not, mark it (admins) as this type of insurance company and Save.
You can now perform invoicing processes for this type of insurance companies (there is a list of companies that require them).
Invoicing with VAT zero.
If your patient has this type of policy, you can now generate their invoice with zero tax amounts.
Go to Multibilling window and perform the current collecting process by extensions, then complete them and generate sales receipt.
Taxes will not be charged for this scenario anymore:
This information will also appear on invoices, VAT not collected field will appear now, as an accounting expression of VAT not being charged:
We hope this improves your Cirrus experience. Remember to share this information and ask for help if you need it.
