Tax Parameters (tctax0100m000)

Use this session to define the parameters that control how your company registers and reports tax amounts.

The tax determination method

In the Search Order Tax Libraries box, you can select the order in which LN uses various methods to determine the tax code and the tax country of taxable transactions.

In the Search Sequence 1 field, select the method that applies to your transactions. If destination sales tax applies to most transactions, select Destination Sales Tax. If you modeled tax exceptions, select Exceptions. In all other situations, select Standard.

Note

You can only select Destination Sales Tax if the Destination Sales Tax Applicable check box is selected in the COM Parameters (tccom0000s000) session.

Tax conditions

In the Ignore as Tax Condition box, you can select the criteria to be ignored when LN determines the tax code and tax country.

You can select the following criteria:

  • The terms of delivery.
  • The Department. The country of the department's address is not considered to determine the tax code and tax country.
  • The item on the order. If you have linked a tax code to the item, LN uses the item's tax code provided that tax code details exist for the tax code in the determined tax country.

 

Introduction Date
The date and time when the parameters are valid. The parameters are valid up to the effective date of a more recent parameter setting.

By default, LN fills this field with the date and time at which you changed and saved the parameter settings.

Description
The description of the parameter set. For example, you can indicate why you change the parameters.
Company
The financial company for which the parameters are valid.

In a multi company structure, if this field is empty the parameters apply to all the financial companies.

BP Tax Number for Purchase Transactions is Mandatory
If this check box is selected, LN registers value added tax on purchase orders if the business partner's tax number is not available.

If this check box is cleared, LN applies the rules for purchases from registered businesses to calculate the tax amount, even if the business partner's tax number is not yet available.

If you create a purchase order for a new business partner, you do not know the business partner's tax number until you receive the purchase invoice. To avoid tax registration for such purchase orders, you can clear this check box.

Search Sequence 1
The first method LN uses to determine the tax code, the tax country, and the business partner's tax country of taxable transactions.

Select the method that applies to your transactions.

If LN does not find the tax details with this method, LN continues the search according to the method selected in the Search Sequence 2 field.

Search Sequence 2
The second method LN uses to determine the tax code, the tax country, and the business partner's tax country of taxable transactions.

LN uses this method if no tax code and tax country are found with the method selected in the Search Sequence 1 field. If LN does not find the tax details with this method, LN continues the search according to the method selected in the Search Sequence 3 field.

Search Sequence 3
The third method LN uses to determine the tax code, the tax country, and the business partner's tax country of taxable transactions.

LN uses this method if no tax code and tax country are found with the method selected in the Search Sequence 2 field. If LN does not find the tax details according to this method, LN returns an error message.

Delivery Terms
If this check box is selected, you cannot use the terms of delivery as a criterion for tax exceptions in the Tax Exceptions by Country (tctax1100m000) and the Tax Exceptions by Country Set (tctax1101m000) sessions.
Department
If this check box is selected, you cannot use the department as a criterion for tax exceptions in the Tax Exceptions by Country (tctax1100m000) and the Tax Exceptions by Country Set (tctax1101m000) sessions.
Item
If this check box is selected, you cannot use the item as a criterion for tax exceptions in the Tax Exceptions by Country (tctax1100m000) and the Tax Exceptions by Country Set (tctax1101m000) sessions.
Number of Layers
The number of layers used in the Aggregate Taxes (tctax9141m00l) session. You can define a maximum of 10 layers.
Note

You cannot open the Aggregate Taxes (tctax9141m00l) session if the number of layers is less than two.
