Tax retention is fundamentally different from tax exemption, and cifraHQ treats them as two distinct concepts.
A tax-exempt customer pays no tax at all. The invoice shows zero tax, and the customer pays only the subtotal.
A tax-retaining customer is charged the full tax, but withholds a percentage and remits it directly to the tax authority.
The government still receives the full tax - the difference is who sends it. cifraHQ calculates all of this automatically.
Tax retention doesn't only apply when you're the seller. When your business purchases goods or services, you may be required to withhold tax from your payments as well.
cifraHQ handles both sides symmetrically - the same automation, the same accuracy, the same audit trail - regardless of which direction the money flows.
When a customer with retention buys from you, cifraHQ calculates the retained amount and adjusts the invoice.
When you pay vendors, cifraHQ calculates withholding, pays the net, and tracks what you owe the tax authority.
Configure retention on the customer or vendor record. Attach the government certificate. Every future transaction applies the correct rules automatically.
Enter the retention percentage and retention type directly on the customer or vendor account. The configuration travels with every transaction.
Attach the government certificate PDF directly to the record. When auditors ask why a retention rate is applied, the proof is one click away.
If certain products carry different retention obligations, cifraHQ applies the correct rate based on customer, vendor, and product settings combined.
cifraHQ supports the full range of fiscal scenarios with six retention type categories - each mapping to specific regulatory classifications for accurate reporting and filing.
Not all retainers withhold the same amount. Some customers are certified as 50% tax retainers - they withhold half and pay the other half. Others are 100% tax retainers - they withhold the entire tax amount.
cifraHQ keeps these concepts completely separate. The Tax section has a distinct Tax exempt checkbox and a separate Retention % field, making it impossible to confuse the two.

cifraHQ classifies customers by type, and this classification influences how taxes and retention are applied.
By combining customer type, retention percentage, retention category, and product-level rules, cifraHQ builds a precise tax profile for every transaction.
Tax retention only works when every party can see exactly what happened. cifraHQ invoices display the full breakdown on every document.
When an auditor asks for details, every number is right there - backed by the electronic submission to the tax authority.
At the end of each reporting period, cifraHQ generates retention reports that summarize all withheld amounts across customers and vendors.
Your accounting team and tax advisors get exactly what they need - no extracting raw data or building spreadsheets.
