To set up a tax declaration

The process to compose a tax declaration from the tax amounts registered for the relevant tax codes consists of the following steps:

1. For each authority to which the tax must be paid, define a collection office.
2. For each box on the tax declaration, define a tax position.
3. Link the tax codes related to the box to the tax position.
4. Add the tax position to the tax declaration master.

To define the collection office

To define a collection office, take the following steps:

1. In the Business Partners (tccom4100s000) session, create a business partner.
2. Define the invoice-from and the pay-to roles for the business partner.
3. In the Business Partners (tccom4100s000) session, select the Collection Office check box. Before you select the Collection Office check box, you must define the invoice-from and the pay-to roles for the business partner. After you select this check box, you cannot define other roles.

To set up a tax declaration

To set up a tax declaration, use the following sequence of sessions:

1. Tax Positions (tfgld0120m000).
   Define a tax position for each box on the tax declaration. Type the name of each box in the Description field. Example, the box names can be Interstate Sale, Interstate Purchase and Service Tax.
2. Relations by Tax Position (tfgld0521m000)

   Link the LN tax codes that contribute to the amount in a box to its tax position. If you generate the tax declaration, LN calculates the sum of the tax amounts with these tax codes and prints the resulting amount for each box.

   For each tax code, you can enter a number of selection criteria to refine the selection of the tax amounts. For example, you can select sales tax amounts or purchase tax amounts, and tax on advance payments or receipts.

   The tax codes linked to the tax position must all have the same value for the Amounts Entered in Financials field, which can be Gross or Net.

3. Tax Declaration Master (tfgld1620m000)

   Define a tax declaration master for each combination of type of tax declaration and collection office. For declarations of different types of tax (for example, VAT, service tax, or TDS), you can define separate tax declaration masters for the various tax categories.

   For every box on the tax declaration, click New on the Tax Positions by Tax Declaration Master tab. The Tax Positions by Tax Declaration Master (tfgld1121m000) details session starts. Select the tax position that corresponds with the box on the tax declaration.

   If you save the details, LN validates the data, for example, all the tax codes of a tax position must be defined for the tax country of the declaration master.
