Tax registration in a foreign country - general rules

For tax registration in a foreign country, the following rules apply:

• A financial company is the smallest entity that can have a unique tax number. For every tax registration in a foreign country, you must define a financial company.
• If you do not set up tax registration in a foreign country, the financial department of an order is the same department as the administrative department.
• LN only displays the financial department on the order headers if the administrative department and the financial department of the order differ.
• You can only change the financial department on an order header or order line manually.
• For the sender's address on external documents such as invoices and communications to customers and suppliers, LN prints the address of the administrative department.
• The financial postings of an order or invoice are made in the financial company that has a tax number in the tax country of the order.
• You cannot change the tax country of an order if financial postings exist in the financial company of the current financial department.
• For the integration transaction mapping, the administrative department of orders and invoices is available as integration element. In the financial company of the tax country, you can use this integration element to distinguish the integration transactions by administrative department.
• The details of order-related and invoice-related financial integration transactions include the financial department.
• LN does not automatically generate financial transactions between the financial companies of the administrative department and the financial department of an order. If such transactions are required, you must create manual journal vouchers.
• For goods transfer, LN bases the generation of internal invoices between, for example, the warehouse and the sales office, on the goods transfer relationship between the warehouse and the financial department of the order.
• To generate correct Intrastat declaration and sales listing data, the financial company with a tax number in a foreign tax country must have an address in the foreign tax country.
• If your organization's legal address for matters related to business in the tax country differs from the address of the financial company in the tax country, you can enter the legal address in the Financial Departments (tctax4110m000) session.
