Travel expenses which are incurred abroad are generally posted with the input VAT indicator for 0% (zero percent) (see IMG activity Define Global Settings).

However, if an input tax agreement exists with a country, the income tax-free expense amounts which are incurred in this country must be given an input VAT indicator.

In this IMG activity, you can define the input VAT indicators for the per diems for meals and accomodations, and flat rates for travel costs for countries with which an input tax agreement exists.

Prerequisites

You only need to carry out this IMG activity if an input tax agreement exists with a country.

To activate the settings in this IMG activity, you must select the field Read table 'Define Input tax for international per diems in the IMG activity Define Global Settings

Notes

  • Tax Schema

    Due to technical reasons, the input tax code entered here must already exist in the tax schema for the country assigned to the company code that the employee belongs to (company code assigned to employee in the Infotype Organizational Assignment (0001).

  • Receipt Entry

    When you create individual receipts for a trip to a country where a tax agreement exists, you must manually change the default input tax code to the correct input tax code for the county concerned.

  • You can use report Input tax recovery (RPRVAT01) to generate a report of the trips, that you can recover input tax for. You can find this report under Accounting -> Financial Accounting -> Travel Management -> Travel Expense Accounting -> Infosystem -> Diverse Trip Reports -> Input Tax Recovery.

This report only includes individual receipts and does not take flat rates/Per diems into account.
