Caution

The documentation relating to travel expenses - country version for Spain below describes the use of Travel Expenses up to 01.31.99. The system, however, has been updated to take the changes in the Spanish Travel Expenses Law (valid as from 02.01.99) into consideration.

For use with Release 4.6B, in addition to the documentation for the Travel Expenses - Country Version for Spain, refer to the SAP note 175896.

 

More than One Trip on One Day

If the end of one trip and the beginning of another trip both take place on the same calendar day, the system determines the tax-free rate for each trip separately. It determines the full tax-free rate for this day for each of the two trips. To prevent this, the two trips must be combined into one.

System Reaction in the Case of Trips > 183 Days

The Travel Management constants table (T706_CONST) contains the constant REIDR with the value 183. If a trip is longer than 183 days the following warning is issued: 'The trip is & days long'. For trips > 183 days use the legal trip type 'S'. The amounts for meals and accommodations are taxed in full for such trips. For business trips extended over the 183 days and that are settled monthly retroactive accounting is triggered. The traveler must pay taxes.

Hotel Receipt Paid on Last Day

If a hotel bill is paid on the last day of a trip, the receipt amount should be distributed manually over the days on which overnight stays occurred. An automatic distribution is not made.

Handling Deductions

In Maintain Trip Data: Deductions, deductions for breakfast, lunch and dinner can be entered per calendar day of a trip. The percentages and absolute amounts for these deductions are stored in table T706A. In Spain, deductions are only used to reduce the enterprise-specific per diems or maximum amounts since statutory deductions from tax-free amounts are not taken into consideration. That means that the tax-free per diem or maximum amount is not changed by deductions. If, for instance, a breakfast deduction with 10% is entered, both the enterprise-specific per diem amount for the entire day and the enterprise-specific maximum amount for the entire day are reduced by 10% for the entire day.
