Definition

This parameter has the effect that the local currency amounts for your advance return for tax on sales and purchases, or your return for tax on sales and purchases are translated into the alternative local currency.

Use

If for example, you have already changed your local currency over to the euro in accordance with the European Monetary Union, but the tax office responsible requires the advance return for tax on sales and purchases in the respective national currency, you can also run the local currency as an alternative local currency as well as the euro. The advance return for tax on sales and purchases is then issued in the alternative local currency, that is, the national currency.

Dependencies
