| # Tax codes for freight orders For freight order lines and for freight invoices, LN supplies the default tax country and tax code. In all cases, you can manually change the tax country and the tax code if this is required. If the freight order concerns a transportation in the European Union countries, EU-specific tax codes apply. If you manually enter purchase invoices for freight orders (that is, the carrier's invoices) in Financials, LN displays the default tax country and default tax code of the freight order. If special tax rates apply to freight orders for transportation across country borders, you can set up separate tax codes for the tax on freight invoices in the Tax Handling (tctax0138m000) session. In all cases in which no special tax code applies, LN uses the domestic freight tax code. If the financial company that is linked to the enterprise unit of the shipping office resides in an EU country, LN determines the tax code and the tax country of the invoice for transportation across country borders as described below. Freight ICT Sales tax applies to freight cost invoices for internal and external business partners. Freight ICT Purchase tax applies to self-billed invoices for internal freight costs. If the freight order line is linked to a sales order line or a purchase order line, LN uses the ship-from and ship-to address of the order line to determine the tax country and the tax code. If no ship-from address and ship-to address can be found, LN determines the tax country and the tax code based on the invoice-from and invoice-to data. The invoice-from country is the home country of the financial company that is linked to the shipping office. The invoice-to country is the country of the invoice-to address.
