In this step, you maintain the global commuting types used in infotype Global Commuting Types (0708), which enables the processor to specify the commuting types that have to be taken into account for tax purposes during the global assignment. This is particularly relevant for the United States, where assignees who work more than 183 days are legally obliged to report their worldwide income and have it taxed in the United States if they have exceeded the above-mentioned limit. It is up to the processor to decide whether or not a commuting type must be considered as tax-relevant.

Example

A global employee starts his assignment in the United States on 01/04/2002 until 31/12/02. Within this period, he spends three months abroad for professional (business trips) and private (holidays) reasons. In this case, he does not have to report his worldwide income in the United States.

Requirements

No preliminary steps required.

Standard settings
