Acquisition/Reverse

This column is relevant only for Input Tax groups (A/P). Select this option to define the tax group as pertaining to Acquisition / Reverse.

Specifying the acquisition tax is a procedure used when you record goods purchased from EU countries. Tax is not calculated in the document, but the correct amount is recorded in the journal entry and affects the tax report. In this case, the tax amount in the rows and in the total of the A/P invoice would be 0.

Note Note

The unique structure of a journal entry that involves acquisition tax is supported only by the creation of purchasing documents such as A/P invoices or A/P down payment invoices. Acquisition tax codes are not available for selection in manual journal entries.

Effective from, Rate

The values displayed in these columns represent the date from which a tax group rate (%) is effective.

Since the tax percentage may change from time to time, you can create additional entries by double-clicking the row number of the tax group and defining them in the Tax Definition window.

Note Note

The tax amounts in the documents are calculated according to the tax group's effective date.

End of the note.
Non Deduct. %

The rate of tax that was paid but not allowed as a deduction. The calculation of the non-deductible amount is based on the tax amount. Relevant only for Input tax groups (A/P).

Example Example

Rate of input tax group: 16%

Rate of non-deductible: 4%.

When creating an A/P invoice for total amount of 100, the amount of total tax is 16 from which 0.64 (=4%*16) is the non-deductible amount and 15.36 is deductible.

End of the example.

When using a tax group defined as non-deductible, the total amount of tax is divided between the tax account and the non-deductible tax account.

Note Note

The Acquisition/Reverse and Non Deductible definitions are mutually exclusive.
