Withholding tax on receipts

When a customer pays an invoice net of withholding tax, the receipt records the tax withheld.

Field	Description
`wht_tax_id`	The withholding tax profile applied, or null.
`wht_rate`	The rate applied, as a percentage.
`wht_base`	The amount the rate was applied to. Unless a base was set on the receipt, it follows the profile’s `withholding_basis`: the VAT-exclusive share of `amount` for `EXCL_VAT`, or `amount` itself for `INCL_VAT`.
`wht_amount`	The tax the customer withheld.

amount on the receipt is the gross settled against the invoice, so the invoice is cleared at its full value. The cash received is amount less wht_amount and any discount_amount, and the withheld amount is held in the profile’s withholding tax receivable account as a credit against your own tax. Receipts without withholding return a null wht_tax_id and 0.00 for the other fields.

Early-payment discounts

When a customer settles an invoice inside the discount window of its payment term, the receipt records the discount allowed in discount_amount. amount is still the gross settled against the invoice, so the invoice is cleared at its full value, and the discount is posted to the Sales Returns and Allowances account. Receipts without a discount return 0.00.
