# Updating VAT rates from MS Business Central

Depending on your preferences and accounting software setup, the Payhawk-MS Business Central integration enables you to seamlessly sync the VAT rates between the two systems.

## Specifics

When importing your VAT rates from MS Business Central in Payhawk, note the following:

- Payhawk will search for all valid VAT combinations which consist of **VAT Business Posting Group** and **VAT Product Posting Group**. If either is missing, Payhawk will not retrieve that VAT rate.
- Payhawk will not retrieve blocked **VAT** **Posting Setup** rates.
- If **Tax rate** is not selected in Payhawk, MS Business Central will set VAT data based on vendor and G/L account from the **Posting** setup.

## Importing VAT rates from MS Business Central

To manually update your VAT rates in Payhawk:

1. In the [Payhawk Web Portal](https://portal.payhawk.com), go to **Settings** > **Fields library.**
2. Click on **Tax rate**.
3. Click on **Update from MS Business Central**. As a result, Payhawk will show the VAT rates that are applicable to the specific expense.
