Tax calculation and registration through the tax provider
For sales tax, the tax amounts are calculated on order line and invoice line level.
If you use a tax provider, the tax provider calculates the tax amounts and passes the calculated tax amounts to the application for posting to the General Ledger and for the updates of the business partner order balances. The application only uses the tax code to determine the tax posting data.
Tax provider register
The tax provider calculates the tax amounts and stores the amounts in the tax provider registers, as well as other data. You can use this data to track and report the tax amounts. The tax register includes the following types of information:
- Transaction type
- Document number or invoice number
- Invoice date
- Tax amount payable to the tax jurisdiction
Registration of tax amounts
The tax provider automatically updates the tax provider register for the following transactions:
- Final invoices generated in Invoicing.
- Manually created invoices in Accounts Receivable if they are finalized.
