New VAT 7% in FRance

[Former Member]

Hello all,

It seems that a new will be soon validated in france so as to set up a new VAT tax rate of 7%.

The activity of my firm will be impacted.

The aim of this post is not to know how to set up a new VAT tax rate, but I'd like to know if there is any kind of means/tools existing in SAP so as to recalculate (massively) the new VAT rate during the invoicing of open orders created before the use of the new rate.

Thanks for your answer

Here is a new need concerning this issue :

Is there a similary field (as the "service rendered date"), at the sales order level.

Indeed, we will want to recalculate the new VAT rate of 7% for Orders created before the application of this new rate (and only VAT rate, not the other pricing elements such as automaticall discount...)

Price date of these Sales Orders (which is situated before the date we will start the 7% VAT rate) should not be moved.

I am sure, you would have to create a new tax code for 7% with a different validity period.

So while creating billing document either via VF01 or VF04, maintain the service rendered date as you want based on which, system will fetch the required tax rate.

For example, if your existing tax rate is 5% which was valid till Oct'11 and effective Nov'11, it would be 7%, and in this case, if you generate a billing document in November with the service rendered date in Oct'11, system will fetch the tax of 5%. Hope this is what your requirement is.
