Supply a VAT-inclusive journal Amount for automatic Normal VAT
Description
For a general-journal line using Automatic VAT Entry and Normal VAT, Amount includes VAT. The posting engine extracts tax from that total; it does not add tax to a VAT-exclusive expense imported into Amount. An LCY invoice with net 100 and VAT 25 therefore needs a journal total of 125, not 100.
Best Practice
Map the source's VAT-inclusive total to journal Amount in this posting mode. Establish the intended account and posting-group combination before validating the final amount. Account-derived VAT defaults depend on Copy VAT Setup to Jnl. Lines; do not assume account selection always supplies the intended configuration.
Require the actual input contract and calculation mode, not just a variable named NetAmount. The examples encode source net, VAT, and gross values plus a 25% Normal-VAT setup check. They target an LCY G/L purchase with 0.01 amount rounding and without balancing-side VAT, additional reporting currency, VAT differences, or unrealized VAT. Other calculation types, Manual VAT Entry, reverse charge, Full VAT, sales/use tax, unrealized tax, and other currency/rounding contexts need their own analysis; this is not a universal gross-up formula or country-specific tax advice.
The concern is the supplied transaction total, not its deductible/non-deductible allocation. Non-deductible VAT features can change the allocation of that total, not turn the source's net amount into its gross amount. Do not infer a particular expense or deductible-VAT split from this rule. The samples therefore do not depend on later-version non-deductible-VAT fields.

Anti Pattern
In the demonstrated automatic Normal-VAT configuration, put a provably VAT-exclusive source amount into journal Amount while expecting posting to add tax. An amount assignment alone, unknown setup, or a suggestive variable name is insufficient. Do not report the correctly supplied gross amount or automatically rewrite tax calculations outside this scope.
