This is more a question around best practice around creating reverse charges/self account in AX 2012 , when you mark the "use tax"(en-us) check box on the "sales tax header" it generates a transaction that can be set-up under the posting profiles for creating a debit and credit entry for VAT. I have also in certain context's seen people utilise a negative and positive code, this practice seems to be especially linked to the UK https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg231022.aspx.
My question is the "use tax" check box widely utilised outside of a US tax, TechNet specifies "If the sales tax code on the sales tax group is used for ... , intra-community VAT, or use tax, select the appropriate check boxes. , ...)." So I am guessing this article is specifying that this check box can be utilised in an intra community Vat setting and also use tax setting.
The reason I ask was I was questioned why I was using a "use tax" check box to generate a reverse charge in europe. But its is my feeling that this functionality is a type of generic tax engine also used for intra-community VAT in Europe and the naming convention on the en-us language version is causing some confusion around what the purpose is of this check box?
