A business partner tax group classes together business partners according to the percentage of the tax rate that is due.

Business partner tax groups are used in the Customizing activity:

Maintain Tax and Exemption Rates

Note

The relationship between business partner and business partner tax group does not have to be 1:1 as one business partner can be assigned to more than one tax group to account for different tax types, and/or, location.

In these cases, the tax type, tax location (indirectly specified through the reference role), and the tax group for a business partner is specified in Partner Tax Classification in the input document

Example

The applicable tax rate is 16%

Full - Business partner is liable for 100% of the applicable tax rate and full rate - 16% - is due

Half - Business partner is liable for 50% of the applicable tax rate and half of the rate - 8% - is due

Requirements

Standard settings

Recommendation

Since tax types are maintained per country, only the following Customizing settings make sense:

Maintain a tax group, for example, Full for

  1. All communities, countries, and tax types

    Leave these respective fields blank

  2. One specific community and for all tax types

    Enter the required community and leave blank the fields for tax type and country

  3. One specific community, one specific country, and one tax type

    Enter the required community, country, and tax type

Activities

  1. Select New Entries
  2. Enter a name for the Business Partner Tax Group
  3. Enter a short description
  4. You can enter the fields Community, Country, and Tax Region but these are not mandatory as the TTE uses a partial key search

    Partial Key Search:

    The TTE tries to determine the tax group with the most specific key - that is the tax group that has all the fields specified such as Country, Community, Tax Type, and so on. If the exact key is not available, key fields are omitted from the search so that a less specific match can be made.

    Depending on legal and business requirements, tax groups can be very specific - comprising all fields - or very general as demonstrated by the recommendation for the tax group "Full".

  1. Save your entries
