Plants abroad question

[Former Member]

Hello Guys,

I want to implement the Plants abraod tax procedure and have the following question:

Is it possible to have the same tax code used by different countries with different tax procedure?

Let say I have the company X with tax countries A and B. Is it possible to have :

- the same tax code D1 with different tax rules (rate and G/L account) depending on the reporting country?

- different tax codes using the same conditions but having different accounts depending on the reporting country?

For such situations, what is the SAP best practice : to create as many codes as rates and as many conditions in the tax procedure as G/L accounts to be used?

Thank you in advance for your help

Best regards

Hi Pascal,

- the same tax code D1 with different tax rules (rate and G/L account) depending on the reporting country?

Tax codes are unique per country.

The tax rate calculation rules and further features are stored in a table for each tax code.Therefore i dont think you can maintain same tax code for different countries with different tax rules.

-different tax codes using the same conditions but having different accounts depending on the reporting country?

As the previous is impossible your next query too is not possible.(Anyway account assignment is done by Chart of Accounts not by Country)

Regards

Andrew
