Octroi

This functionality is specific for India.

Octroi is an indirect tax levied when the goods enter a municipality or local area for consumption or sale. Generally, the supplier pays the tax to the local tax authorities. Octroi is calculated on the invoice amount that includes all the taxes and additional charges for which octroi is applicable.

When octroi is non-claimable, do the following:

  1. Define a Charge Code with the Charge Type set to Octroi in the Additional Charges (tccom9140m00l) session.
  2. Select the charge code in the Purchase Order Additional Charges (Domestic) (tdpur9137m01l) session, when octroi is levied on all the purchase order lines in a purchase order. When octroi is levied on a specific purchase order line, select the charge code in the Purchase Order Line Additional Charges (Domestic) (tdpur9138m01l) session.
  3. When octroi is applicable to all the sales order lines in a sales order, select the charge code in the Sales Order Header Additional Charges (tdsls9136m00l) session . When octroi is applicable only to a specific sales order line, select the charge code in the Sales Order Line Additional Charges (tdsls9137m00l) session.
  4. The octroi is included in the taxable assessable value and the landed cost amount. The total non-claimable tax amount includes octroi.
Note

When octroi is claimable, the aggregate tax code must have a tax code for octroi with the Indirect Tax set to Others.

Octroi and Entry tax can be applied to the transfer of goods between your warehouses. If the warehouses are located in different states or in different cities, you must set up an invoiced goods relationship between the warehouses because, you require an invoice to calculate the tax amounts.
