You can use this business function to exclude line items from the base amount used to calculate withholding tax. You can define the exclusion parameters and include account assignments, document types, document ranges, and other fields.

You define a derivation strategy with criteria that specifies which line items are excluded from the base amount used in the withholding tax calculation. If new General Ledger Accounting, Grantee Management, or the US Federal ledgers are used with a splitting method that splits the base item category of withholding tax, the resulting lines for withholding tax are split based on the characteristics that have not been excluded. The withholding tax data screen shows the details of included and excluded lines.
