Taxes
The system provides the possibility to create various taxes which will be used in the invoicing settings. The tax rate of the used tax will be applied to the net invoice amount and adds to it.
Tax-structure
The tax-structure is the frame for taxes with similar characteristicts. There must be no validity overlaps of the allocated taxes since there is no tax selection in the invoice settings. In the invoice settings you select only the tax-structure and the valid tax is applied automatically.
A use case for allocation of multiple taxes to a tax-structure would be an increase of the tax rate by the turn of the year. In this case you would have tax 1 valid until 31.12.year1 and tax 2 valid from 1.1.year2 until yearX.
Tax
- Name - name for the tax
- TaxRate - factor (%) that is applied to the net invoice amount
- SAP TaxCode - taxcode which is used for SAP-exports
- From/ To - validity of the tax
- Tax-structure - mandatory selection of a tax structure that the tax will be allocated to. Please note: there can only be one tax applied to the invoice. Consequently only 1 tax should be valid at a time.
