Definition

This indicator is used to classify the different types of withholding tax.
Withholding tax types classify particular features of a withholding tax including:

  • The time at which the withholding tax is posted
  • The basis on which the base amount is calculated
  • The basis for accumulation (if applicable)

Withholding tax types are to be distinguished from withholding tax codes, to which are allocated the withholding tax percentage rate example.

Whether a withholding tax can be defined as an existing type by means of a new code, or if a new type needs to be defined will depend on the type of transaction (see below).

Note that a business transaction can only be assigned one withholding tax code per withholding tax type. If the business transaction is subject to several withholding taxes simultaneously, these must be represented by different types.

This is the case in Argentina for example, where up to four kinds of withholding tax per business transaction are possible.
