Use

In this Customizing activity, you can define rules to exclude account assignments in the withholding tax calculation. After defining exclusion rules in an exclusion strategy, you can assign them to a withholding tax type and activate or deactivate the strategy as needed.

When a document is posted and includes a payable line for a vendor that is liable for withholding tax, the system applies the exclusion rules you defined. The system evaluates all expense lines in the document and (according to the account assignments in each expense line) decides whether or not each expense line should be excluded from the withholding tax calculation. If an expense line is excluded, the withholding tax base amount is reduced accordingly.

Note

The exclusions only work for withholding tax types for payment posting. For more information, see Customizing under Financial Accounting (New) > Financial Accounting Global Settings (New) > Withholding Tax > Extended Withholding Tax > Calculation > Withholding Tax Type > Define Withholding Tax Type for Payment Posting.

Requirements

Standard settings

Activities

  1. Enter the country key for the withholding tax types you are going to use.

    For more information about country keys for withholding tax, see Customizing under Financial Accounting (New) > Financial Accounting Global Settings (New) > Withholding Tax > Extended Withholding Tax > Basic Settings > Check Withholding Tax Countries.

  2. Create an exclusion strategy and define derivation rules to exclude the desired fields and values.
  3. Assign the exclusion strategy to a withholding tax type.

    You can assign exclusion strategies to multiple withholding tax types.

  4. Activate the exclusion strategy for the withholding tax type and save your entries.

Example

Vendor A is liable for withholding tax in payment postings (withholding tax type WT1). This vendor provides two services that are registered in accounting in Expense Account 1 and Expense Account 2.

Expense Account 1 is included in the calculation of the base amount for withholding tax, but Expense Account 2 is not included in the calculation.

You use this Customizing activity to create a new exclusion strategy. You maintain the strategy and choose Create Step to create a derivation rule. In the derivation rule, you enter HKONT (G/L account) as the source field and EXCLUDE as target field. You save the rule.

You enter the rule values. In the General Ledger Account column, you enter 2. In the Excluded from Withholding Tax Calculation column, you enter X (Excluded).

You assign your strategy to the withholding tax type WT1 and select the Active checkbox.

When you post an invoice for Vendor A and the invoice contains Expense Account 2, the withholding tax function does not include that expense in the base calculation.
