Documentation

Definition

Defines whether the following applies for the G/L account:

  1. Is it tax relevant?
  2. Is it a tax account?
  3. Is it a tax-relevant G/L account?

Use

Tax-relevant account?

Decide whether the account is to be used for tax-related postings. If not, leave the field empty.

Tax account?

Decide whether the account is to be used exclusively for posting taxes.

Determine for which type of tax on sales and purchases you want to use the account:

  • "<" for an input tax account
  • ">" for an output tax account

">" and "<" are intended for tax accounts only.

Tax-relevant G/L account?

Decide whether the account is to be used as a general ledger account to which tax-related postings can be made.

Define which tax code can be posted to the account. When the account is posted, the system checks whether the tax code for sales and purchases entered in the document line item is valid for the account.

This can be beneficial if you always post to the account with the same tax code. When the account is posted, the tax code is output and can no longer be changed (for example, for flat-rate taxation in an expense account for domestic travel in Germany).

If you only want a general check of the tax category, choose one of the following special characters:

  • "+" to allow output tax only
  • "-" to allow input tax only
  • "*" to allow all types of tax

In this case, when a G/L is posted, the user must enter a tax code. However, this does not apply if you also allow postings without the tax code by using your own indicator in the G/L account.
