Sales tax payment - AX does not clear all posting when looking at the GL account

Posted on by Community Member Microsoft Employee

Hello

I have running the sales tax payment for a period of 6 months, and it is the Swedish VAT report.

When reconciling the GL accounts I have noticed that during 2 months the GL accounts for dedubtible purchase VAT was not cleared out properly. There seem only to have been posting the reversal of a minor part of the months transactions, meaning there was a remaining amount at month end left. This VAT account is reversed to a settlement account and not to the tax authorities.

For example:

In May I have noticed a total of 5 200 350 on the VAT account for deductible VAT. When running the tax sales report only 5 122 345 is settled against the settlement account.

What reasons can there be for the sales tax report not clearing the VAT accounts properly? Can a reason be that running the report and AX stops responding causing any problem?
Can there be amounts from previous periods effecting the sales tax report clearing?
Can the reason be postings without sales tax codes being done directly to the GL account?
Thank you in advance for tips in this matter.

Thank you in advance

Hi Feodala,

The documentation is brief and can be found here: technet.microsoft.com/.../aa583763.aspx

In fact the original is reporting the initial sales tax payment run for a period.

Corrections is showing all corrections after the first sales tax payment run.

Latest corrections is showing the latest corrections in case of multiple times corrections has been posted.

Total list is the complete list regardless when it has been reported to the tax authorities or not.

Hello Andrè

Thank you for this answer. I will test this.

Is there any detailed documentation of the Sales tax payment versions and what the 4 different steps mean?

Original

Corrections

Latest correction

Total list

Can there be different results when running the Sales Tax payment depending on what dates you are using in the From date and in the Transaction date.

For example if I want to run the Sales Tax Payment report for January.

Versiion 1

Settlement period January

From date 2017-01-31

Transaction date 2017-01-31

Version 2

Settlement period January

From date 2017-01-01

Transaction date 2017-01-31

Thank you in advance for your help

Hi Feodala,

I'm not familiar with the Swedish regulations. It could be explained if after running the Sales Tax Payment job, new transactions are posted in the previous period. You can check this by running the Sales Tax Payment with the "Corrections" option enabled.
