Definition

Indicator that causes the base amount for the calculation of sales tax to be reduced by the discount share.

Dependencies

The rule used to determine the base amount for the calculation of sales tax is subject to the relevant country legislation. Either the company code table or the jurisdiction code table is used for control purposes.

If the jurisdiction code is used for tax calculation, the entries in the company code table are not valid. Control then takes place at the highest level of the definition of the jurisdiction code. This method of tax calculation is used in America, for example.

Example

In Great Britain, the base amount for sales tax is the invoice amount less the agreed discount.

Note

If the tax base amount is net, the net value also has to be chosen as the discount base.

Exception: If tax is calculated using the jurisdiction code (USA), the combination 'Net tax base' and 'Gross discount base' is also permitted, however, no tax adjustment is made for payment with a discount deduction.

Example

In the following an example is given for each possible combination. In each case, the material value is 100.00, the possible discount percentage 3.00 %, and the tax percentage 10.00 %.

1) Gross tax base, Gross discount base

Tax base 100.00 ==> Tax amount 10.00

Possible discount amount (3.00 % of 110.00) 3.30

Invoice amount 110.00

2) Gross tax base, Net discount base

Tax base 100.00 ==> Tax amount 10.00

Possible discount amount (3.00 % of 100.00) 3.00

Invoice amount 110.00

3) Net tax base, Net discount base

Tax base 97.00 ==> Tax amount 9.70

(Tax base = Value of goods - Possible discount = 100.00 - 3.00)

Possible discount amount (3.00 % of 100.00) 3.00

Invoice amount 109.70

4) Extremely rare case (only permitted when jurisdiction code is used)

Net tax base, Gross discount base

The value of the goods is not 100 but 100.30 so that the figures in this case can be compared to those in the other cases.

Tax bases 97.00 ==> Tax amount 9.70

(Net value of goods + Tax = 97.00 + 9.70 = 106.70)

Since the discount base is gross, this value represents 97% of the gross invoice amount.

Invoice amount = 110.00

Possible discount amount (3.00% of 110.00) 3.30
