Tax Jurisdiction Code (USA) 

Use

The tax jurisdiction code is used in the United States for determining tax rates. The tax jurisdiction code defines the tax authority to which taxes must be paid. The determining location is the location to which the asset was delivered. You enter this code in the asset master record under time-dependent data.

Features

When you post using a tax calculation table, the system enters the tax jurisdiction code in the FI document. For asset postings, the system determines the tax jurisdiction code based on the logic below:

  1. It first looks for the tax jurisdiction code in the asset master record.
  2. If it is not in the asset master record, the system takes the tax jurisdiction code from the cost center entered in the asset master record.
  3. If neither the asset master record nor the cost center contain a tax jurisdiction code, the system takes the tax jurisdiction code from the company code to which the asset belongs.

Procedure 3 is intended for instances when taxes on sales/purchases do not apply to the business transaction.

Reports

Using sort versions and the offset procedure, it is possible to use the tax jurisdiction code as a sort criterion for reporting. For more information, see General Functions of Standard Reports and Sort Versions
