Use

In this and the following IMG activities, you make the basic settings required so that the system can calculate taxes using tax jurisdictions. The settings include:

  • Defining which countries you want to use tax jurisdiction-based tax calculation in
  • Configuring the system so that when a clerk creates a business partner master record, it automatically determines which tax jurisdiction the partner is located in

In these IMG activities, you do not maintain the tax rates for business transactions between different tax jurisdictions. You do that later on in the IMG, and the activities depend on which tax tool you use (Transaction Tax Engine or condition-based tax calculation).

United States Only

If you use non-SAP software, such as Taxware or Vertex, to calculate taxes, you can use the same software to check the jurisdiction codes when you maintain business partner master data.

In that case, only carry out this IMG activity and those under Using Non-SAP Tax Software.

Activities

In this IMG activity, you specify, for each country that uses tax jurisdiction-based tax calculation, how the tax jurisdiction codes are structured. The code consists of up to four parts, each of which represents a different administrative level.

For all countries except for Brazil, the structure must be the same as in SAP ECC, if you use it.

Brazil

Brazil has two tax-raising administrative levels, the state (which can comprise several tax regions - geographical areas where different tax rates apply) and the city.

In SAP CRM, the tax jurisdiction code is seven characters long. The first three stand for the tax region; the last four for the city, for example: RS 0001 denotes Porto Alegre, in the tax region Rio Grande do Sul. Note that the space after the RS counts as the third character of the tax region.

In SAP ECC, the tax jurisdiction only refers to the tax region. Information about the city is read from a separate field (the City Code field on the Control Data tab). When you download the data to SAP CRM, the system concatenates the tax region and the city to form the tax jurisdiction code. For example:

SAP ECC: Tax jurisdiction code = Rio Grande do Sul (RS); City = Porto Alegre (0001)

SAP CRM: Tax jurisdiction code = RS 0001

Canada

Both the federal government and the provinces have tax-raising powers. The tax jurisdiction codes thus always start with CA (to represent the federal government) and are followed by a two-letter abbreviation that denotes the province.

For example, the tax jurisdiction code for Quebec is CAQC.

United States

States, counties, and cities can all raise taxes.

If you use non-SAP tax software for determining tax jurisdiction codes, you must configure the structure here to match the one used by the tax software.

Otherwise, we recommend that you customize the structure so that the state is identified by its two-letter abbreviation; the county by a three-digit number, and the city by a four-digit number. For example, the city of Pittsburgh (0100) in the county of Allegheny (001), Pennsylvania (PA), has the tax jurisdiction code PA0010100.
