Tax Determination Issue

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

I have a problem to determine tax MWST in sales order. I've created a Sales Order with plant 1000 (country code DE), ship-to party also is DE. And all are set 1 full tax for ship-to and material. And 16% tax is calculated in the order which is correct.

And I want to test an export scenario, which I changed the ship-to as GB, and in condition table, Deprt -> Destination (DE -> GB) is set 15%. But when I created the order and found 16% of the tax.

Hence, I would like to know what's the problem I have.

Q1: how to determine the sale order is demestic or export? by country for depart and destination only?

Q2: It's said to assign a rule blank, A and B at the sales org level? But I don't see any fields in defining a sale org. Where can I define the rule?

Q3: If I want to learn more about tax, can you give me more detail info or link?

thx, eric!

unfortunatly not even teh 16 % for DE to DE are correct, we have already reached the 19 % since last year.

You can start the analysis with clicking the analyze button in the condition tab of sales order item.

This will tell you the condition that was taken.

you can have more than one access for the MWST condition.

This you probably see already in the analysis.

you have to check e.g. in VK13 which one has the proper conditions that are responsible for the value you got.

Usually the tax is determined on more characteristics than just shipping and receiving country.

you should define conditions based on shipping and receiving country and on tax classification from material master and customer master.
