Definition

Use

Determines, in combination with country and date, which tax code applies.

Dependencies

You have to differentiate between the following cases for the determination of tax on sales and purchase:

  • Tax determination without jurisdiction code

    In this case, you assign the tax determination code to the valid tax code, and thus the valid tax rate. The time slices are automatically consecutive and free of gaps from the start of the first time slice onwards.

  • Tax determination with jurisdiction code

    Similar to tax determination without jurisdiction code. When the tax rate changes, the following options are available for recording the change:

    • Without an external system
      • Maintain the change to the tax rate in the tax code in Customizing for Financial Accounting under Basic Settings -> Tax on Sales and Purchases -> Calculation -> Define Tax Codes for Sales and Purchases.
    • In an external system
      • Also maintain the change to the tax rate with the corresponding jurisdiction code in Customizing of Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable under Basic Functions -> Special Features in Taxation Procedures -> Tax Changes in an External System.
      If you want to import the tax rate changes automatically, you need a customer-defined report that copies the data to table TE012.

You define the sales tax determination in Customizing for Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable under Basic Functions -> Postings and Documents -> Maintain Document Account Assignments -> Define Determination of Tax on Sales and Purchases.
