Tax flowing from Sabrix needs different taxes based on when was the work pe

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

We have a scenario wherein we have taxes flowing in our AR invoices through Sabrix, now from 1st April tax regulations will be changing and we will have 13% taxes in place of current 5%. This scenario can be taken care by Sabrix itself and we would not be making any changes in SAP.

However, the issue is suppose the work got completed on 29th March but the invoice got issued on 2nd April so the tax will be charged @ 13% in place of 5%, users want that if this was the case still the tax should be charged @5%.

Is there a way without making user exits that this can be achieved.

I can think of 2 things i would want your suggestions and comments on my thoughts also:

We can issue a credit memo of the differential amount, though i am not very clear if this could help, need your thoughts on this.

We can make a JE for the differential amount and clear it with the RA invoice clearing

Other than the above 2 we can make exits which will have tax amount taken as 5% on the basis of certain indicators, but since there will only be a very few invoices for this hence we do not want to have any exits done.

Please share your thoughts on this.

Anmol,

The SAP standard tax interface uses two dates; the TAX_DATE and the REP_DATE. The tax date is what is used to determine the taxability of a transaction, and the rep date is used to indicate what fiscal date the transaction belongs into. The functions in SAP which populate these two dates have been designed to take your scenario into account. A invoice as described in your scenario would have a tax date of 3/29 and a rep date of 4/2. To ensure that this works properly the standard tax interface in SAP will use the invoice date or service rendered date from the invoice as the tax date. That date is dependent on if the transaction had an actual goods issue, in that case the date is the goods issue date, or if it was a service it would use the service rendered data. This same logic also applies to credits and debits, which in turn will ensure that the tax is calculated based on the original invoice date.

If this isn't the case in your system please review the copy control for the documents in question, that is the place where the date determination logic for SAP is defined.
