Field help (VATTYP)

A tax code can be used to identify several tax types:

• VAT (Value Added Tax): based on the excl.-tax amount
• Additional tax: based on the excl.-tax amount on the quantity or any other item of a document line
• Special tax: based on the excl.-tax amount on the quantity or any other item of a document line
• Local tax: See below.

For a Special tax or Additional tax, select the Subject to VAT check box if the tax type is subject to a VAT.

Local tax

Application

This type of tax is not managed in France.
It is applies to Canada and Argentina.

Prerequisites

The PTX - Tax rates implementation activity code must be activated beforehand.
To manage Argentine local taxes, the KAG - Argentinean activity code must be active.

Principle

Taxes on the document footer are applied according to the region of origin and/or destination.
This feature can be extended to other cases: The local taxes depend on information from the TAXLINK table. They can be used as additional taxes in the document footer. This particular case is useful for preventing the tax from being transferred directly into the table.

Location

• In the Sales module, the local tax is displayed directly on the invoice footer.
• In the Purchasing module, the four additional tax codes are displayed on the line and can be modified.
  If the number of taxes is limited for sales, you cannot specify more than four taxes in purchasing lines.
