Country / Region parameters form and Community VAT number prefix/country region form

Hi,

I´m trying to understand why do we need these two different forms:

1. Community VAT number prefix/country region --> Is this to have in the "EU sales list" report the country code informed?? Anything else?

2. Country / region parameters --> why do we inform here the Sales tax column with the country code? Isn't it enough with the form from point 1?

What are the implications of ticking/unticking

* Check tax exempt number --> Isn't this controlled by this parameter?:

* EU country - goes to the EU sales list report or does not go?

Also, question that applies to both forms above. Is there any data entity that can be used to copy the information from one company to another or from one environment to another?

I have the same question (0)

hi Capslock,

As far as i remember, Community VAT prefix doesn;t appear on any transaction screen but it does appear on when you Process the 347 Tax Declaration in Spain.

Did you check the below MS Doc on Intra-community VAT for Spain:

Hi CapsLock,

The Spanish localization explains why I never noticed this form.

For those countries where there is a VAT number validation, there is a class (forgot the name) with a suffix of the country. It is checking per class for the pattern used for VAT numbers in that country.

RE: Country / Region parameters form and Community VAT number prefix/country region form

Hi,

Thanks for your answers.

Andre, answering your question, this is the menu path where the form for the "Community VAT number...". This is for a spanish localization:

Junaid, I understand what you say about the above form in that it identifies EU operators, but for what form/report/functionality. Where does the "Community VAT prefix" that we inform there goes?

On the "Country/region parameters" form, it doesn't make much sense to tell the system to validate VAT formatting if there is no check for it. What format or patter is checking against?

Thank you for the info on Intrastat and cross company data sharing.

Hi Capslock,

1. Community VAT numbers:

It's basically country specific community VAT number setup if it is Member State of the European Union or outside the EU to be identified as an operator.

2. Country Region parameter:

We can use this screen to validate the tax exempt identification for the selected country/region and mark if that is EU country or not.

3. AP parameter:

Legal entity level tax exempt configuration to check and validate tax exempt number by EU state or non-EU.

Hi CapsLock,

The Community VAT number country/region might be a form related to a localization for a country. Can you share the menu path where you see this form and what localization country is used for your legal entity?

On the Country/Region parameters form, you can specify if the Tax exempt number (aka VAT number) will be validated if it meets a certain pattern for that country. Note that there is no out of the box check for all countries; even not those in the EU.

On the Foreign trade paramters (EU localization) there is also a tab page for Country/Region settings. The purpose of this form is to set the intrastat country code and the country type per legal entity. The country type is e.g. domestic, EU or non-EU. Per legal entity the domestic country can be different.

There might be some data entities available to copy the data. It is also possible to setup cross company record sharing for these tables, but you have to share it by country then.
