Tax authorities

A tax authority is a government body with jurisdiction over the tax in a specific area. If you define a tax code, you can link the tax code to a tax authority.

You can use tax authority groups to group tax authorities geographically, by type of jurisdiction, or in any other way that is meaningful when you select or sort tax information for reporting purposes.

Note:

Using tax authorities for reporting purposes is not restricted to American sales and use tax. You can link a tax authority to any type of tax code.

You can use tax authorities for the following purposes:

To sort tax reports by tax authority
To update all the tax rates for one tax authority

To set up tax authorities:

Optionally define tax authority groups in the Steuerbehördengruppen (Am.) (tcmcs1140m000) session.
In the Steuerbehörden (tcmcs1137m000) session, define the tax authorities. You can optionally assign the tax authority to a tax authority group.
In the Steuercode nach Land (tcmcs0136s000) session, assign tax authorities to single-level tax codes.

In the Mehrstufige Steuercodes (tcmcs0135s000) session, assign tax authorities to multiple tax code lines.

You can sort tax reports by tax authority or tax authority group when you use the following sessions:
