| # To define tax base value formulas For tax categories for which the tax amounts are not based on the net purchase order amounts or on the net purchase invoice amounts, you can define the algorithm used to determine the tax base amount. For example, if the tax is based on a percentage of the net amount, you must define the tax base value formula. To define a tax base value formula To define the tax base value formula, use the following sequence of sessions: Tax Base Value Variables (tctax0110m000) Define the variable for the tax base value formula. You can only use alphabetic codes for the variable, for example, ABC. In the description field, indicate the type of work or services for which you define the formula. The Tax Base Value Type can only be Goods Amount. Therefore, you can define and use a single variable for all the tax base value formulas that you must define. However, if you must define multiple formulas, for easier reference you can define a number of variables and in the description field, indicate their use. Tax Base Value Formulas (tctax0111m000) Define the tax base value formula. You can use numbers and the mathematic operators +, -, *, and /. To test the formula, you can select the formula and on the specific menu, click Simulate Formula Calculations. The Simulate Formula Calculations (tctax0211m000) session starts. Simulate Formula Calculations (tctax0211m000) Test the result of the formula. Click Fill Variables to display the dialog box in which you can enter values for each variable of the formula . Click Process, Infor ERP LN displays the formula with these values and the calculated tax base amount. To link the tax base value formula to a tax code In the Tax Codes by Country (tcmcs0136s000) session, select the tax base formula in the Tax Base Value Formula field. Note If you use tax categories, tax codes of the same tax category within one country must have the same tax base value formula. Example Example of tax base value formula For example, service tax is 12 per cent of the invoice amount and education cess is 2 per cent of service tax, SHE cess 1 percent of service tax. For total value of tax you can define: Tax base value variable: INVAMT Tax base value variable description: Invoice amount Tax base value formula: SER Description: Service tax Tax base value formula: (INVAMT*.12) +((INVAMT*.12) *.02 )+((INVAMT*.12) *.01) Related topics Service tax - overview |
