one-time customer in b2c scenario with tax jurisdiction code

[Former Member]

We'd like to implement a web application for b2c. All orders will be stored in SAP using the address override (so we don't have to create customer masters). This triggers for each address the tax jurisdiction code determination (external in our case), which may find no or multiple tax jurisdiction codes.

The standard b2c user has no idea what a tax jurisdiction code is, therefore we cannot give him the options. But we cannot just block the tax jurisdiction code determination, because we have to know the taxes for charging the user's credit card with the right amount.

How are other projects handling this ?

Hi,

I don't know your Country and the applicable taxes, But If i would have been at your case I would have tried it by following option:

In India there Many states and applicable taxes differs accordingly. mainly there are two basic taxes CST & VAT.

CST is that applicable when Ship To Party and supplying plant are belongs to Two Different States.

VAT is applicable when Ship To Party & Supplying Plant belongs to the same State.

Supplying plant is the plant from Mfg Plant from where the material is dispatched to the Ship to Party.

As Customer/Ship to Party Address is mandatory , hence from that I will get the Ship To party 'State' and as per the nearest plant from where I can dispatch my Material I will consider same as my default delivering/supplying plant , based on that plant adress I will get the 'State' and once I got both the states i.e Ship to Party sate & Supplying Plants State I will able to determine whether CST is applicable or CST.

By default I will allow all the taxes at Customer master but based on the States only one will get considered at my Pricing.

Hope this way help you or give nay hint to resolve your problem.

Thank You,

Hi RB

I forgot to mention that the question is about US and Canada. They have a very elaborate taxing procedure using the so-called tax jurisdiction codes which are most often determined based on the address by a 3rd party system (Vertex, Taxware).

Thanks for your help
