Specifying tax base value formulas

tax base value formula.

For tax categories for which the tax amounts are not based on the net purchase order amounts or the net purchase invoice amounts, you can specify the algorithm used to determine the tax base amount. For example, if the tax is based on a percentage of the net amount, you must specify the tax base value formula.

To specify the tax base value formula, use the following sequence of sessions:

  1. Variablen für Bemessungsgrundlage (tctax0110m000)

    Specify the variable for the tax base value formula. You can only use alphabetic codes for the variable, for example, ABC. In the description field, indicate the type of work or services for which you specify the formula.

    The Art der Bemessungsgrundlage can only be Warenwert. Therefore, you can specify and use a single variable for all the tax base value formulas that you must specify. However, if you must specify multiple formulas, for easier reference you can specify a number of variables and in the description field, indicate their use.

  2. Formeln für Bemessungsgrundlage (tctax0111m000)

    Specify the tax base value formula. You can use numbers and the mathematic operators +, -, *, and /.

    To test the formula, select the formula and, on the appropriate menu, click Formelberechnungen simulieren. The Formelberechnungen simulieren (tctax0211m000) session starts.

  3. Formelberechnungen simulieren (tctax0211m000)

    Test the result of the formula. Click Variablen angeben to display the dialog box in which you can specify values for each variable of the formula in turn. If you click Verarbeiten, LN displays the formula with these values and the calculated tax base amount.

To link the tax base value formula to a tax code

In the Steuercode nach Land (tcmcs0136s000) session, select the tax base formula in the Formel für Bemessungsgrundlage field.

Note: 

If you use tax categories, tax codes of the same tax category within one country must have the same tax base value formula.

Example

Example of tax base value formula For example, for social contributions that must be withheld over 80 percent of the invoice amount, you can specify:

  • Tax base value variable: SERV
  • Tax base value variable description: Services (Low)
  • Tax base value formula: SRL
  • Description: Social Contribution (Low)
  • Tax base value formula: 0,80 * SERV
