One company - Multiple VAT numbers

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Niels Matthys

Hello all,

I have several customers that have multiple VAT numbers per company.

An example would be: The Business is located in Germany, one warehouse is also located in Germany and one warehouse is located in France.

It is not predefined from where he goods are delivered so the shipment for the first order of Customer X can come from France but the next order for this customer can come from Germany. Therefore it can happen that it is a domestic delivery but it can also be intracommunity. The tax regulation for this is completely different. We would not want to change this manually per order but the system should be able to identify the VAT based on the origin AND destination.

My question to you is: How to handle multiple VAT numbers and thus VAT regulation for one company?

Thanks!

Kr,

Niels

    Hi Niels,

    You can set a VAT number per address. I don't know if this is used for VAT reporting in Germany or France. Usually we create multiple TAX authorities and Tax codes and Tax groups per country to be able to handle the VAT reporting. The Item tax groups remain usually the same as these are connected with products and categories.

    Hi André,

    Thank you for your quick response.

    In your case how does AX identify which sales tax group to pick up?

    In my case it would be possible to identify a VAT number per address of the warehouse.

    However, the VAT regulation not only depends on the warehouse but also on the location of this customer.

    How would we be able to let AX automatically identify the correct sales tax group when it has to look at both the origin and destination?

    Hi Niels,

    The last time I did this setup was about 7-8 years ago. We started with manually selection of the correct tax groups. I thought at this customer they only provided goods from a warehouse within their own country. Otherwise it was an intra-communautair sales from the headquarters.

    If you want to reduce the risk of using the wrong tax groups, you can eventually consider a customization.

    We encountered a similar situation where a customer was registered for VAT in 5 jurisdictions, on Sales side to handle this we created a matrix to update the sales tax group on sales order line based on the combination of warehouse and country/region on delivery address located on the sales order line. For the companies VAT number we updated the Sales Tax Group to hold the companies VAT number related to that jurisdictions and invoices would update based on selection of Sales Tax Group. You have implement controls that users do not select two warehouses in different jurisdictions as you could then end up with two VAT types on the same Sales Invoice.
