Definition

Use

Activates tax line summarization in the company code.

In certain countries (such as Austria and Italy) the law requires the summarization of tax lines.

You can activate tax summarization in each company code.

When tax summarization is active, the system summarizes line items using the following criteria before the tax lines are generated:

  • Underlying tax code
  • Tax category of the account (G/L account or reconciliation account)
  • Tax jurisdiction code (if there is one)
  • Account type
  • Gross/net indicator of condition
  • Currency

A summation tax line is generated for each of these summarized lines. The system displays tax lines on G/L accounts and subledger accounts separately.

Tax-relevant debit and credit amounts are balanced against each other. If they balance to zero, then a tax line might not be generated.

Due to the new calculation of the summation tax lines, there could be rounding differences within the document. The reason is that the tax for the total of the lines is not necessarily the same as the total of the taxes on the individual lines. This balance is distributed as follows, dependent on whether gross conditions are involved:

  • Gross conditions are in document:

    Since the gross amount is specified in the contract, gross amounts are not allowed to be changed. Therefore the system generates a separate G/L account line, in which the balance is written off. Account key RDF is used for account determination. Check the standard FI Customizing settings for this using transaction OB00.

    Also check the account determination for account symbol RDF in Customizing for Flexible Real Estate Management. Account symbol RDF, Rounding diff. for tax summarization, has to have been created and assigned to the account in the chart of accounts (IMG activity: Replace Account Symbols).

  • Gross conditions are not in document:

    The gross amount is modified consecutively in the subledger lines until the balance is fully distributed.

Example

A monthly net condition with 16% tax on sales/purchases is posted for three months.

Condition amount:     EUR 6.28

Tax amount:     EUR 1.00

Gross amount:     EUR 7.28

  • Without tax summarization:

Customer     7.28

Revenue     6.28 -

Customer     7.28

Revenue     6.28 -

Customer     7.28

Revenue     6.28 -

Tax     1.00 -

Tax     1.00 -

Tax     1.00 -

The revenue lines are summarized with the result 3* 6.28 = 18.84. The tax amount is 16% of 18.84 = 3.01. In contrast, the total tax amount without summarization was 3.00. The balance is distributed first to the first line, then the second, and so on. In our example, only the first line would be changed, since the balance is only 1 cent.

  • With tax summarization:

Customer     EUR 7.29

Revenue    EUR 6.28

Customer     EUR 7.28

Revenue     EUR 6.28

Customer     EUR 7.28

Revenue     EUR 6.28

Tax     EUR 3.01
