Version 1.4.0 released - Updated Japan tax and added a new feature

Today we are releasing another update to VAT Calculator regarding the increase from 5% to 8% of the Consumption tax in Japan, starting tomorrow 1st of April 2014.

We also introduced a requested feature, the percent (%) sign. This sign, if enabled in the settings menu, replaces the (±) sign. This means that starting on this version you can now do calculations with percentage like in a normal calculator.

The option to activate the percent (%) sign

Lets say that you run a business and buy items from your supplier at 156,60 with a 20% VAT rate included, and you would like a 5% profit. Here is what you have to do:

• Select the VAT included screen and type 159,60
• In the VAT excluded screen you see the amount without taxes is 133,00. Now, you want to add to this amount (133,00) a 5% profit
• Select the VAT excluded screen and press plus (+) 5 (%)
• In the VAT included screen you have the selling price of the item - 167.58

We introduced also improvements in the selection of the language inside the app - now when the language is selected the changes are immediate. There is another improvement regarding the option to keep the screen on. We hope that it is fixed now for all devices.
