Tax minimums in the SD can be handled automatically. For the normal use the condition type representing this tax must be defined as a group condition with the group condition routine 1 (taking the whole document into account) and with having scales. The scales must then be maintained in the way that if the base amount is above a certain value then the condition is applied, otherwise not. That means, with the minimum value and the percentage a base amount can be calculated which is then entered in the condition master data as a scale base. To give you an example: The actual minimum for VAT perception is 21,30 ARS, the percentage to be applied is 5%. Therefore in the maintenance of the scale values the entries must be:

• From the scale base value 0: ARS on apply 0% tax,
• From the scale base value 426: ARS on apply 5% tax.

If additionally exemption on taxes with a minimum on document level can occur it is a bit more complicated to handle them automatically. 3 different condition types are required therefore. The first condition type is retrieving unmodified values from the condition table on item level. The second one is processing the exemption information for the customer via the above mentioned assignment between condition type and tax category. The third condition type is the one which is checking the minimum on the document level, it therefore receives some values from the 2 mentioned before and it is operating with modified scale base values via a certain scale base value formula.
