Model tax exceptions

When the derived tax code is incorrect, you can define tax code exceptions. A tax code exception is a set of transaction details for which you define a tax code or tax country and business partner tax country other than the values that result from the standard tax code derivation.

You can define the tax exceptions in the following sessions:

However, if you set up tax exceptions, try to limit the number of exception rules. More rules means more complexity, which affects performance. Therefore, only model exceptions for tax situations that are often applicable and for which the standard tax logic is not sufficient. For tax situations that do not occur often, you can also manually enter the tax details by order. If possible, to limit the number of exception rules, use country sets.
