Example
Example 1: Simple Tax Posting
You post output VAT at 18% using the tax code BC.
In the IMG activity listed above, you check which transaction key this tax code uses: MWS. You enter MWS here.
Example 2: Compound Tax Posting
The government requires you to post purchases of kerosene with 10% VAT, half of which is nondeductible. In the VAT return, you have to state how much nondeductible VAT you have paid on kerosene.
In the system, you use tax code ZZ to post purchases of kerosene. This posts the VAT to the following accounts, using the following transaction keys:
VAT G/L account Transaction Key
Deductible 120224 VST (deductible input VAT)
Nondeductible 120225 NVV (nondeductible input VAT)
The transaction key NVV is used to post the 5% nondeductible VAT. Therefore, you enter NVV here.
