  2. Head on to the Invoice > General tab.
  3. Scroll down to the following options:
    • ‘Total tax’ column display options: You can choose how the column ‘Total tax’ in the invoice would be displayed. Available formats are Amount and Rate(%). You can select either Amount or Rate (%), or you can select both.
      For example, if the price of the items are $65, $18.8, and $69.9; and their tax rates are 5%, 5%, and 22% respectively, then, the total tax will be displayed in the invoice in the following manner:
      • If ‘Amount’ is selectedtax amount
      • If ‘Rate (%)’ is selected tax rate
      • If both ‘Amount’ and ‘Rate (%)’ are selectedtax amount with rate
    • Show separate columns for each tax: Check this box to have individual columns for separate tax classes in the invoice. If multiple taxes are set up in your store, each tax item will be displayed separately in individual columns.
      • ‘Tax’ column display options: Choose how to display individual tax items on the invoice tax column. The available options are Amount, Rate(%), and Separate columns for Rate(%) and Amount.
        This is how it will be displayed on the tax column if you have selected both Amount and Rate(%):tax in separate columns

You can rearrange the positioning of the columns by dragging the items. You can remove items from the table by clicking on the trash icon and even change the heading name from the same window. Note that you will have to save and activate the template to reflect the changes in the invoices of the upcoming orders. 

If the settings saved are not reflected in your existing invoices, it is likely that you have unchecked the option Invoice/Packing > Invoice > General > Use latest settings for invoice. Enable this to apply the current changes to the older invoices.
Caution: Changing the company address, name, or any other settings in the future may overwrite previously created invoices with the most up-to-date information if you keep this option enabled (‘Use latest settings for invoice’).

    Hi,
    I am using the plugin and trying to calculate the taxes for India. The current settings are showing:
    1. Taxable value.
    2. Taxes (adding multiple taxes in CGST and SGST – Intrastate taxes in India)
    3. Amount including tax.

    I need some more fields like HSN Code and Discount Rates with Amount.

    How to show the same, please suggest.
    Thanks
