If you create the invoices in Invoicing, LN can use the tax rates of the Order Date or the Invoice Date.

If this check box is selected, and you generate a return order for rejected goods in Order Management, LN copies the tax details for a sales return order from the original sales order or sales schedule.
Text

LN prints the text on invoices and purchase order acknowledgements with this tax code. For example, for special tax rates and tax exemptions, you can use this text for references to the applicable tax law chapter.

Tax Article

For some kinds of tax included in the VAT book, you must print the section of the law related to the taxation on the tax report or the tax declaration. You can define the tax article as reason codes in the Reasons (tcmcs0105m000) session.

Note

In one country, all the tax codes of a tax category must have the same, or none, tax base value formula.

Tax Base Value Formula
The tax base value formula.

If this field is empty, LN bases the tax calculations on the net purchase order amount or the net purchase invoice amount.

Note

In one country, tax codes of the same kind of tax and the same tax category, or an empty Tax Category field, must have the same tax base value formula.
