Country/Region code issue

(5) ShareShare

Posted on by GA-18081426-0 10

I am an end user of Microsoft Business Central and have encountered an issue when setting up Tax Jurisdictions.

When adding a new Tax Jurisdiction, I need to select the country code CN. The CN country/region code has already been set up in the system and appears correctly on the Vendor Card. However, it does not show up as an available option in the Tax Jurisdictions – Country/Region field.

Could you please advise how to resolve this issue, or let me know if there are additional settings or dependencies required for the country code to appear in Tax Jurisdictions?

Thanks for your helps!

Best Regards,

Ginger

    The Country/Region on the vendor card is not the same as the Country/Region used in tax jurisdictions because they serve different purposes.
     
    On the vendor card, the Country/Region field is user-defined. The values are maintained manually, and you can add countries or regions as needed.
     
    In tax jurisdictions, the Country/Region field uses predefined values, you cannot add any countries that don't already exist in there. For example, in the US and Canada localizations, you can only select US or Canada respectively. This is because the tax engine in the system is used to calculate taxes and it only supports specific countries based on the Business Central localization in use. But this field is only used for setting up the tax engine, you can still set it up and use it with an "incorrect" country/region code.

    Hello Ginger,
     
    This is expected. Tax Jurisdictions only work for the US in Business Central.
    Non-US country codes like CN will never appear there.
    What to do instead
    Use VAT Posting Setup for China (CN)
    Tax Jurisdictions = US Sales Tax only
    Nothing is missing in your setup.

    Hi, You can add new Tax Jurisdictions, but the Country/Region is fixed because other countries do not use this feature.
     
    Thanks
