Tax Reporting Units Tab
This section includes the fields and descriptions for the Tax Reporting Units tab.
Reporting Unit Island
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | In this field, you enter the name of the current tax reporting unit. |
| Reg. No. | In this field, you enter the registration number of the current tax reporting unit. |
| Tax Date | In some countries, legal requirements demand that the entry date of each registration is what determines the tax settlement period in which the entry belongs, while in other countries, the period is determined by the invoice date of the registration. In this field, you can specify for the current tax reporting unit which of the two methods should apply to companies belonging to the reporting unit.
Each G/L entry contains a field called “Tax Date” to which either the entry date or the invoice date of the registration depending on the value in this field on the tax reporting unit assigned to the company which the entry concerns is automatically transferred when the entry is posted. When you create tax settlements in the window Tax Settlement, Maconomy uses the tax date registered on each individual G/L entry to determine whether the entry is covered by the period for which settlement is carried out. |
| Currency | A company (in the EU) should paid taxes in a foreign country (also in the EU) if the company has a lot of sales in that company. The tax settlement should in this case be made in the foreign currency instead of the currency of the selling company. This field can be sued to set the currency that the VAT settlement will be made in. If not set, the currency of the company will be used. |
| Tax Type, EU Acquisition Tax | In this field, you can specify the tax type under which EU acquisition tax should be reported in tax settlement printouts for the current tax reporting unit. |
| Tax Settlement by Tax Type | In this field, you can specify whether tax reporting for the current tax reporting unit should be made by tax type rather than a combination of tax settlement type, tax type, nature of tax, and tax type.
If you do not mark this field, tax settlement printouts will show a line for each combination of tax settlement type, tax type, nature of tax, and tax type. If you mark the field, a line is shown for each tax type, however only including tax types for which the field “Include on Printout” is marked in the Popup Fields workspace. If you mark the field, the Tax Reporting workspace will not show lines for which no tax type has been specified. |
Posting References Island
