service taxes

[Former Member]

Hi friends,

We have a scenario where the client while creating the customer invoice calculates the service taxes but prints the service tax amount seperately just to show that how much is the service tax has to be paid by the customer.In this industry the customer pays the service tax and if at all the customer doesnt pay and asks the client to pay then the client pays and recieves the same form the customer fot that particular invoice.

1. So if in SAP the tax amount has to be calculated on the basis price but should not hit the GLs?

2.If the tax has to be paid by the client then should a debit note has to be paid for that invoice,but where would the syetm calculate the service tax if its not charged?

Suggest

Dear, SAP

1) Maintain that tax condition type for ex: ZTAX in the pricing procedure, you can tick that condition type as a statistical. In the steps you can put it based off of the price you wish to calculate the tax price from.

2)The FI can post a debit note on behalf of that tax which the customer has to pay.

Good Luck,

Hi

As per Rule Service taxes are need to charge from customer and need to pay to Govt department. It is companies liability to recoverd service tax from customer and pay to goverment.

Now in your scenario you can use defferred service tax functionality, as per this functionality untill unless customer not paid service tax, company is not liable to pay it, wheather invoice have created. here you can use in invoice

Customer Dr.

service tax Deffered Cr.

When customer pay the service tax then

Service Tax Deffered Dr.

Service Tax payable Cr.

Please refere the SAP Note. 921634

Based on my understanding of the query and your business process requirement.

Maintain config accordingly:

1. Maintain Sales doc & invoice with similar Doc. pric. procedure, say, A. And a different for Tax Debit note, say, D.

2.

(a) Two pricing procedure with similar condition types and steps with different account keys, say, ZSA001 for Sales & Invoice and ZTDR01 for Tax Debit Note.

For Instance

ZSA001 (Prices + S Tax + E CESS + SH CESS = Net price)

ZTDR01 (Prices + S Tax + E CESS + SH CESS = Net price)

(b) In pricing procedure, where you want a GL entries, assign relevant account keys to those condition type. Say, in ZSA001, don't assign account keys for Tax relevant condition type and also in ZTDR01, don't provide account key to price relevant account keys.

For instance,

ZSA001 Prices (ERL), S Tax (No Acc Key), CESS(No Acc Key)

ZTDR01 Prices(No Acc Key), S Tax (MW1), E CESS(MW2), SH CESS (MW3)

3. Maintain Pricing determination accordingly for both the pricing procedure.

For instance,

Sales + Doc Pric Proc (A) + Cust Pric Proc (1) + ZSD001

Sales + Doc Pric Proc (D) + Cust Pric Proc (1) + ZTDR01

4. Maintain copying control for Sales to Invoice (VTFA) and Invoice to Tax Debit Note (VTFF).

If you have any doubts or require more clarification, do post your query/feedback.

Thanks & Regards
