Definition

In some countries such as Brazil, tax is levied on electricity consumption, depending upon the amount consumed. Different taxes are calculated for different levels of electricity consumption. The total consumption is always used to determine the tax. If several lines with different consumption values are written during billing, an additional line must be created, which contains the total consumption. There must also be a dependency between the individual lines and the total consumption line. You create this dependency using the tax group field.

All lines in the schema whose tax calculation depends on a total amount have the same tax group.

Example:

Line    Amount    Qty    Tax Group    Relevant for Tax

1    50    50    0001    -   

2    100    150    0001    -   

3    -    200    0001    X

Lines 1 and 2 are linked to line 3 by tax group 001. The tax code is found for quantity 200. This tax code is used to tax the amounts 50 and 100.

The 3rd line has an additional field TAXREL, which indicates the line that contains the tax quantity for the whole of tax group 0001.

Note:

The tax group field is only shown in the schema if a variant with variant category 17 - write tax determination quantity is used.
