Additional Tax in Tally ERP 9

Of late, we noticed some changes in the Ledger Entry screen while creating "Additional Tax" ledger. The same is as follows :

Tally ERP 9 Release 5.4



As you can see, in Tally ERP 9 Release 5.4, the "Type of duty" is to be set as "Additional Tax".

Tally ERP 9 Release 4.93



In Tally ERP 9 Release 4.93, the "Type of duty" is to be set as "VAT" and "Additional Tax" is to be specified in another field "Method of Calculation".

And here is the difference in the XML tags :

Tally ERP 9 Release 5.4
TAXTYPE : Additional Tax
SUBTAXTYPE : Output VAT

Tally ERP 9 Release 4.93
TAXTYPE : VAT
BASICTYPEOFDUTY : Additional Tax
SUBTAXTYPE : Output VAT
