According to the rules, the rate of discount if applicable has to be shown on the invoice.
The supplier cannot provide a discount on the final invoice amount which is VAT inclusive. You need to calculate VAT on the Taxable amount. Furthermore, the VAT is charged on discounted prices.
Let us understand it with an example.
Supplier ABC sells goods worth GBP 500 to his customer offering a discount of 10%.
Therefore, the calculation will be as follows:
Sales Amount: GBP 500.
Discount: 10%.
Taxable Amount: GBP 500 – GBP 50 = GBP 450.
VAT %: 20%.
VAT Amount: GBP 90.
Final Invoice Amount: GBP 450 + GBP 90 = GBP 540.
