Sales Tax in North American version

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 15

Greetings

Looking at Sales Tax handling at an Order/Invoice document line level, it appears that the "Tax Liable" field is not editable ; Looking at Table 37 definition, it is set as Editable=No.

Does that mean that in the US it is NOT permitted to change the tax liability of an order line if, for example and some reason, I need to enable/disable sales tax calculation for a specific line ?

Our case (California), we do have products considered as 'Ingredients' or 'Processing Aids' ; For a CA Customer with a reseller permit and qualified as retailer, he would have no tax on Processing Aids (Tax Group Code) products, whereas a CA Customer with a reseller permit and NOT qualified as retailer would pay tax on Processing Aids.

I thought changing the Tax Liable value on the Sales Order line would do the job, but it appears that in STD Dynamics, the field is set non-editable at the Table definition level.

Can someone tell me if it is this comes like this because of US Tax Mgt rules ? Or can we make the field Editable and still be OK for Sales Tax rules ?

Thanks for your help

Fred

    Hi Fred,

    I can't say if has anything to due with the IRS, it is probably more of software design.  Tax liable is set at the header level and the prevention of unticking it at the line level is most likely to prevent rounding issues.  North America Sales tax, if the country code is US on the Tax Area, rounds at a Tax Area/Tax Group Code combination level.  Having lines that are tax liable and not tax liable (tax liable = TRUE/FALSE) may trigger an inconsistency error.

    I would think you would be better off creating a NONTAXABLE tax group code, and then assigning it to the Tax Details of each of the Tax Jurisdictions that are assigned to your California Tax Area.  Then set the Tax % to 0.00 for the NONTAXABLE tax group in each Tax Detail.  Define the NONTAXABLE Tax Group Code on the sales lines when no tax is to be paid on the Processing Aids, dependent on the type of customer selected on the order.  Maybe that would be an option to consider.  Thanks.
