How do I make VAT tax background match rest of my invoice?
How can I customise the background that appears when I insert VAT (sales tax)? It inserts a pale yellow block when the rest of my invoice is white. It looks terrible :(

Inappropriate?If you select the preview link under Settings>Templates you can change the templates and colors.
I’m thankful

Inappropriate?Sorry if I wasn't clear. I've create a template invoice. I now want to add VAT tax to my invoices; so I've gone into my preferences and ticked the box. However, when I create an invoice to send a client, the VAT line is a different colour to the rest of my invoice. It's a chunk of yellow background rather than white.
Best wishes,
Jennifer

Inappropriate?I understand.

Inappropriate?In preview it looks as it always did before I added VAT; the VAT line doesn't show. When I actually create the invoice there is the yellow band and VAT information.
-
Inappropriate?You can change some of the colors or change the template from that screen.
I’m thankful

Inappropriate?I guess I'm just not explaining myself correctly.
Again:
>>In preview it looks as it always did before I added VAT; the VAT line doesn't show. When I actually create the invoice there is the yellow band and VAT information. -
Let me reword it. From that screen you can change some of the colors of the template, some aren't changeable. If you don't like the colors and they aren't changeable then change templates. -
Inappropriate?but it's just one tiny box - the VAT line - that is showing up incorrectly!! I love my template; I hate the box that has appeared when I added VAT capability.
Does that make sense?
Why doesn't the VAT line colour match up with the rest of the template? Is this a bug? How do I fix it? -
Inappropriate?The template looks fine when previewed, as the VAT line doesn't appear. When I use the template, and slot VAT in, it looks terrible.
Does that make sense?
Hope so. :) -
The company says
this answers the question
-
Inappropriate?Why not? How can I add VAT, then??
-
Inappropriate?I see you've added a star. So that's it? No workaround, no fix? I've paid up a year in advance and this is very important as a UK user!
-
Inappropriate?What is the name of the template you are using?
-
Inappropriate?I use Emily.
-
Inappropriate?Have you tried the other templates to see if there is one that works better?
-
Inappropriate?No, because this is the template I like and have used for my business. I am now VAT registered but do not wish to change my branding!
-
Inappropriate?In any case, if you can't change the VAT block colour, it won't matter which template I use. There will still be a yellow block, correct? Can't you fix this problem?
-
Inappropriate?The vat area's color and style might well change for different templates.
I must say you are feisty and I like it. John took a look at the template and will change it. :) -
Inappropriate?I hardly think I am feisty (okay maybe just a little!), but am determined to get my invoices looking really professional!
I love Less Accounting but really didn't want a yucky yellow blotch that draws attention to an extra 15% on the bill! ;)
So what do I need to do now?
Best, Jennifer -
Inappropriate?Just to confirm, I'm going to remove the yellow box but leave everything else the same. Does that sound good?
I’m happy
-
Inappropriate?So the VAT tax wording will appear but the yellow background behind it will go away (and the rest of the template will stay as is, with white background? If yes, then fantastic!!!!!
I’m excited
-
Inappropriate?Ok, no problem. I'll let you know as soon as we have deployed the changed template to our servers.
I’m confident
-
Inappropriate?I just checked the template (I need to send an invoice this morning to a client) and it still has the yellow stripe in it.
Can you tell me when I should expect the update? Really need to use my template...
Thanks

Inappropriate?We made a new Heidie template which is like emily, but with the changes you want. It should be on the site tomorrow.
