Sales tax direction

Posted on by Esther de Maar 200

I work with the Belgian tax setup and I do have a question about the Sales Tax Direction. Sometimes, I want to make an entry on a cost main account in a bank general ledger and I do get standard the sales tax direction "sales tax receivable" in stead of "sales tax payable". I changed the setting in main account (setup, sales tax direction = purchase), I tried the general ledger parameter " Tax direction requirement"  and I also tried to mark the field  "Sales tax direction"  on tab general (line of journals). It doesn't seem to affect my Sales tax direction.

    When you get VAT charged, from a supplier fe, it will be a Sales tax receivable for you. So this is correct. AX will put the vat on the tax receivable side when you post on a "cost" account Debit. Credit bookings will be automatically put on Sales Tax Payable.

    If you insist on a Sales Tax Payable with a debit posting you should put in the amount on the credit side with a minus in front of it. This  way AX will think it is a sales (credit) but because of the minus it will end up on the debit side.

    Hi All,

    If i am booking the Customer Sales Invoice by using General Journal, i am getting the sales direction as Sales Receivable.

    Credit  - Project Revenue

    Debit  - Customer Account

    But, Actually it should be Sales Payable.

    There is no impact, Even if I changed in Main Account set up and GL Parameters.

    How to get that?

    Thanks,

    Hello

    i have an issue where the Supplier Invoice (is being identified as "Sales Tax Receivable" in terms of Tax Direction) but the amount is coming as POSITIVE in the "Posted Sales Tax"

    the customer invoice is also correctly identified as "Sales Tax Payable" in terms of Tax Direction and the sign is also Positive but in this case correct

    is there a setup for this?
