SYSPRO Ribbon bar > Setup > Setup Options > Tax
This determines the tax applied to stocked order lines.
This uses the item's tax code.
This uses the tax code of the customer's area.
This uses the tax code of the customer's area (split into state, county and city rates - the total of which is used to calculate tax).
This uses the tax code against the postal/zip code (split into state, county and city - the total of which is used to calculate the sales tax).
This is the company's tax code file you intend using for the USA Tax by advanced geocodes or USA AVP sales tax system options.
Enabling this option lets you capture reverse charge ledger codes and rates in the Tax Code Setup program.
The VAT reverse charges for tax submission feature lets you record VAT which would've been paid by a company if services were procured from within their EU state, but which were in fact procured from another EU state. It caters for VAT requirements in UK and EU countries that need to disclose reverse charges when submitting tax reports.
This levies tax according to GST (federal level) and PST (provincial level). Most provinces charge PST besides GST, but some charge PST on GST. If you are also using Tax by geographic area, then a stock item with a blank tax code is interpreted as being exempt from tax and the tax code assigned to the geographic area when calculating tax for that item on an order is disregarded. Enabling this after defining your product classes requires you to create the _GST product class manually.
This levies tax on the supply of goods and services in Australia and on goods and services imported into Australia. It is essentially a value added tax (VAT) system where tax is paid at each step along the chain of transactions involving goods or services, until the end-user is reached. This is enabled when your nationality code is set to AUS.
This calculates tax using a third party system. Details captured are passed as XML to the query business object supplied by the designer of the third party tax system. This option only applies if you selected the USA tax by advanced geocodes or USA AVP sales tax system options.
Branch level integrates sales tax to General Ledger according to the branch code of the sale. The sales tax ledger account held against the AR branch is used for tax distribution. Tax code level integrates sales tax to General Ledger according to the ledger account held against each tax code. This does not apply to Canadian GST because GST is always integrated at branch level.
This calculates tax at the end of an invoice for each tax rate used in the invoice calculation. The taxable amount for each invoice line is accumulated and the tax is calculated for the total invoice amount to give the invoice level tax value.
This calculates tax for each line on an invoice before it is accumulated into a total invoice tax value. You must select this option if your nationality code is USA and you want sales order programs to calculate tax based on tax limits.
This calculates GST at the end of an invoice for each tax rate used in the invoice calculation.
This calculates GST for each line on an invoice before it is accumulated into a total invoice tax value.
This uses the period end dates defined for your General Ledger as the tax return periods for generating the Tax Return report (you will need to run the Tax Return Setup program). Otherwise you need to use the Tax Return Period Maintenance program to define the tax return period dates for the Tax Return report.
This enables you to define tax codes of up to 20 characters long to comply with legislation where tax codes longer than three characters are required. This option only applies when running SYSPRO in a SQL environment.
This allows you to reduce the taxable portion of lines by the settlement discount percentage for tax codes which are defined as inclusive (i.e. reduces the tax base by the terms discount prior to the tax being calculated). This option allows you to assume the discount is being taken prior to calculating tax. If any tax code is defined as inclusive, then you must select this option before you can reduce the taxable portion of merchandise, freight and miscellaneous charge lines.
This reduces the taxable portion of merchandise lines according to the settlement discount percentage, before tax is calculated.
This reduces the taxable portion of freight lines according to the settlement discount percentage, before tax is calculated.
This reduces the taxable portion of miscellaneous lines according to the settlement discount percentage, before tax is calculated.
This applies if you are using the Basic tax system or Tax by geographic area.
If using Tax by geographic area and a tax code exists for the geographic area, then that code is used (i.e. the codes defined here are only used if no corresponding tax code is held against the geographic area).
If you are using the USA tax by advanced geo codes or USA AVP sales tax system, then an entry in any of the Default sales tax code fields indicates that the default state of the corresponding line is taxable.
Assign a default tax code for miscellaneous charges or leave blank to default to non-taxable.
Assign a default tax code for freight charges or leave blank to default to non-taxable.
Assign a default tax code for non-stocked items or leave blank to default to non-taxable.
Assign a default tax code for credit notes or leave blank to default to non-taxable.
These options apply only to Sales (including Point of Sales) Quotations and Return Merchandise.
This rounds your tax and invoice values to the nearest monetary unit of your currency. Rounding occurs on the total tax amount and total invoice amount (i.e. values at line level are ignored).
The rounding values are output to _RND (for the document value) and _TAX (for the tax value).
This applies rounding to the total tax amount which is applied to the net invoice value. Tax rounding is typically only necessary if required by legislation in your country.
This applies rounding to the total invoice amount. You would typically use this if rounding is required because of the non-existence of small denomination coins (e.g. if the smallest denomination in your currency is 5, rather than 1 or 2). If you select to round both the tax value and the invoice value, then rounding is first applied to the tax value.
This applies tax and/or invoice rounding to invoices for foreign currency customers.
This rounds tax and/or invoice values up to your nearest currency unit (e.g. if rounding to the nearest 5 cents and the invoice value is 101.84, then the invoice value is rounded up to 101.85).
This rounds tax and/or invoice values down to your nearest currency unit (e.g. if rounding to the nearest 5 cents and the invoice value is 101.84, then the invoice value is rounded down to 101.80).
This rounds tax and/or invoice values to the nearest required value where 0-4 is down and 5-9 is up.
This applies tax rounding to all invoices produced from Sales Orders or Dispatch Notes.
This applies tax rounding only to invoices processed using the SO Counter Sales program.
This applies tax rounding only to invoices processed using the SO Counter Sales program, where the Payment type for AR is set to Cash for the Payment code used.
Enter the monetary or local unit of currency to which you want to round tax and invoice values.
For example:
If your smallest monetary unit of currency is 5 cents, then you would probably enter 5 in this field. If you are using the Point of Sale system, you may need to give change to customers. You can therefore not round invoices to a monetary unit that is less than the smallest coin available (e.g. you would not round to 1 or 2 cents if the smallest available coin is 5 cents).
This indicates that the purchaser is responsible for remitting the tax portion of the purchase to the tax office (i.e. the purchaser makes one payment to the supplier of the goods/services purchased and another payment to the tax office for the withholding tax portion of the transaction).
This calculates the value of withholding tax automatically at the time of making a payment in the Accounts Payable module (Taxable Amount * Withholding Tax Rate)/100). You should not select this option if you are disbursing tax over multiple general ledger tax accounts. For each invoice processed using the AP Invoice Posting program, the withholding tax system recognizes only the first tax code entered.
This calculates withholding tax when the actual invoice payment is made.
This calculates withholding tax when capturing the supplier invoice.
This applies withholding tax to foreign companies/suppliers only.
This applies withholding tax to local companies/suppliers only.
This applies withholding tax to an individual supplier. This can include contractors or consultants.
This bases the calculation on the fixed rate defined in the Withholding Tax Codes Maintenance program (currently only the Fixed rate is used, and is selected by default).
This is similar to tax brackets in which a different % is used depending on the amount (e.g. 0-1000 is 1%, 1001-9999 is 5%, etc.).
This is like a fixed rate, but if the amount is over a certain number (e.g. over 1 million) then an additional % tax is withheld."
This calculates withholding tax on the net invoice value (gross invoice value less tax and less QST if applicable) of the good or service.
This calculates withholding tax on the invoice amount less any trade discounts.
This calculates withholding tax when the payment is made.
This calculates withholding tax when capturing the sales order.
This is the type of transaction declared on the Supplementary Declaration (e.g. sales, acquisitions, goods sent for processing or free of charge goods). The Default nature of transaction codes options are disabled if you have not enabled the EC VAT system required setup option.
This is the default dispatch code (goods going to other EC Member States) for invoices.
This is the default dispatch code (goods going to other EC Member States) for credit notes.
This is the default code for arrivals (acquisitions).
This is the default three-character alphanumeric Incoterms code, denoting the terms of delivery. The Incoterms code indicates the portion of costs and risks agreed to by the parties in a contract of purchase or sale. For example, the Delivery term CIP (Carriage and Insurance Paid) indicates that the seller pays the cost of carriage and insurance necessary to bring the goods to a named destination (i.e. Shipping location).
This is the default Incoterms code for dispatches (goods going to other EC Member States) for invoices.
This is the default Incoterms code for dispatches (goods going to other EC Member States) for credit notes.
This is the default Incoterms code for arrivals (acquisitions).
This allows the entry of Delivery Terms and Shipping Locations into sales order/purchase order documents for customers/suppliers who are non-EC members. This option is not dependent on the EC VAT system required setting.
This uses the third-party tax system (as defined against the Interface type option) for all calculations relating to tax. The following configuration must already be defined within the Company Tax Options form (Setup Options > Tax > Company Tax Options):
-
The Tax system option must be set to USA tax by advanced geocodes.
-
The Sales tax calculation option must be set to Invoice level.
Once enabled, you need to indicate your preferred tax connector at the Interface type option, followed by selecting the Run Setup hyperlink to proceed with configuring the selected tax connector.
If this option is deselected, then the standard SYSPRO tax calculation is used.
Enabling this option allows the system to call the relevant Tax Connector platform to immediately calculate the tax and total values displayed for every sales order line added or maintained within the Sales Order Entry and Point of Sale Entry programs.
If this option is disabled, then the system calculates the tax based on the advanced geocodes (which map to the imported tax rates) when querying the sales order values.
Enabling this option adds a performance overhead that may slow down the sales order process. It can also result in higher costs as the Tax Connector platforms generally charge for every query transaction.
This indicates the name of the third party tax system in use.
When the Sales and use tax system required option is enabled, this lets you indicate the cloud-based tax calculation system you want SYSPRO to use when calculating the tax requirements on sales orders. Once you've indicated your preferred third party platform, select the Run Setup hyperlink to proceed with the Tax Connectors configuration.
This is the default ship from fields required for non-stocked and miscellaneous lines.
This is the level of identification required by the tax process.
This determines whether this is a test company or a company that requires updates. If enabled, a flag is passed to the business object at the appropriate time to update the tax information in the third party system. Otherwise, the flag passed is always N.
This indicates how you want to distribute the taxable portion of a transaction processed in the AP Invoice Posting and AP Permanent Entries Posting programs.
This creates tax entries for each transaction processed, enabling you to print a detailed Tax Distribution Report.
This creates tax entries summarized for each journal, enabling you to generate a summary Tax Distribution Report.
This indicates you don't want to print a Tax Distribution Report.
This indicates that you want to use a two-tier tax system in conjunction with other tax systems available. It is applicable only to transactions posted within Accounts Payable against local suppliers and is calculated on the compounded amount (i.e. on the total amount after the initial tax, discounts, surcharges etc., have been calculated). This option is not available if you indicated that the Tax distribution method is not required.
This is the description that must be used as the default for all fields relating to second tier tax.
This calculates QST on the selling price inclusive of tax (i.e. selling price + tax). Otherwise, QST is calculated on the selling price only (i.e. selling price exclusive of tax). This option has no effect on the calculation of tax on settlement discount. QST on settlement discount is always calculated on tax, regardless of your selection at this option.
This calculates QST against foreign currency suppliers if you have enabled the Foreign currency suppliers tax entry option.
Multiple GL tax accounts distributes the total tax amount entered during AP Invoice Posting and AP Permanent Entries Posting to the AP tax ledger code defined against each of the tax codes that you intend using. You should not select this option if you selected to use the Withholding Tax system. Single GL tax account distributes the total tax amount entered to the Accounts Payable Input tax account.
This is the default tax code that must be used for tax distribution in the AP Invoice Posting and AP Permanent Entries Posting programs. If the EC VAT system is enabled and you select the Supplier default tax code required option, then the supplier's tax code is used instead of this default code.
This is the default tax code that must be used for second tier tax distribution in the AP Invoice Posting and AP Permanent Entries Posting programs.
This enables the Tax code and Tax amount fields when processing transactions for foreign currency suppliers in the AP Invoice Posting and AP Initial Invoice Capture programs.
This uses the tax code defined against the supplier when processing Accounts Payable invoices using the AP Invoice Posting and Browse on AP Permanent Entries programs. Otherwise the default code defined for invoice posting is used. The option is only available if the EC VAT system required option is enabled.
This requests the taxable portion of a non-zero discount amount when processing a payment using the AP Release Invoices to Pay by Review, AP Manual Check Entry, AP Void Checks or Payment Cycle Maintenance programs. The default value displayed in these programs is determined by the rate assigned to the entry made at the Default tax code field. In addition, you need to define the Settlement discount (tax) ledger code. You cannot select this option if the Withholding tax system is in use.
Enable this to calculate the taxable portion of settlement discount according to the tax code applied at line level for the invoice. Otherwise, the taxable portion is calculated using the single tax code assigned at the time of payment.
Current uses the current tax rate against the Default tax code or Default QST code to calculate the tax/QST on settlement discount.
Historical uses the invoice date of the transaction being paid to determine the tax rate to use for settlement discount.
This option only applies when the Request tax amount option is enabled.
This tax code is used to calculate the tax on settlement discount when processing a payment. The rate to use is determined by your selection at the Calculate tax using historical rates option. Historical uses the invoice date to ascertain the tax rate at that date. Current uses the current tax rate against the tax code. A valid default tax code must be entered if you want the value of tax on settlement discount to be printed on the Tax Return report.
This requests the second tier tax portion of a non-zero discount amount when processing a payment. The default tax value displayed in the payment programs is determined by the rate assigned to the entry made at the Default QST code field. In addition, you need to define the Settlement discount (QST) ledger code.
This is used to calculate the QST on settlement discount when processing a payment. The rate to use is determined by your selection at the Calculate tax using historical rates option. Historical uses the invoice date to ascertain the QST rate at that date. Current uses the current tax rate against the QST code.
This is the default tax code to which the tax amount must be posted in the AR Invoice Posting program when no tax integration is selected (i.e. when sales tax integration to General Ledger is not set to Branch level or Tax code level. If no tax code is entered, then tax code A is used, even if it has not been defined.
This is the default GST tax code to which the tax amount must be
posted in the AR Invoice Posting program when using the Basic tax
system. If left blank then the tax status of the transaction in
the AR Invoice Posting program is set to

The tax rate assigned to this tax code is used to calculate the taxable portion of an adjustment or discount amount entered within the AR Payments and Adjustments program.
This disburses the taxable portion of an adjustment to the sales tax ledger code defined against the tax code during processing in the AR Payments and Adjustments program. If you don't select this option (or the sales tax ledger code assigned to the tax code is blank) then the taxable portion is disbursed to the Adjustment value (tax) GL control account. This option only applies if your sales tax integration to General Ledger is set to Tax code level.
This indicates how you want to distribute the taxable portion of a transaction processed in the Cash Book Deposits and Withdrawals and CB Permanent Entries Posting programs.
This creates entries for each transaction, enabling you to print a Tax Report for each transaction within a journal individually, as well as a breakdown at transaction level.
This creates entries for each journal, enabling you to print a Tax Report listing totals for each journal together with a breakdown at journal level.
This indicates the type of transactions (deposit, withdrawal or both) for which you want to distribute a taxable portion during processing in the Cash Book Deposits and Withdrawals and CB Permanent Entries Posting programs.
This either displays a warning or an error message when posting a Cash Book transaction exclusive of tax and there is a difference between the calculated tax and entered tax.

This distributes tax transactions to the ledger code defined against the individual tax code (i.e. each tax code has a separate ledger code - defined using the Tax Code Setup.
This sets the company's default tax status to taxable or non-taxable. If non-taxable, you will be unable to enter tax information for non-stocked lines in the Purchase Order Entry and Requisition Entry Maintenance programs.
This overrides the tax code assigned to stock items during processing in the Sales Order Entry program.
This uses the tax code held against an item when processing credit notes for stocked lines and the tax code held against the service charge when processing service charge lines (instead of the default tax code for credit notes). If no tax code is held against the stock item or the service charge, then the program defaults to using the default tax code for credit notes. Credit notes processed for non-stocked, miscellaneous and freight charge lines will use the default tax code for credit notes.
This reduces extended sales order line values by the tax amount, if the tax code is inclusive. You won't be able to access this option if the USA tax by advanced geocodes or the USA AVP sales tax system is enabled. The order values are reduced by the tax amount for the following reports: Dispatch Note Report, Order and Booking, Backlog by Stock code, Sales Order Backlog by Customer and Import Back Order Releases and the Order Intake Query query.
This indicates whether you want the system to perform checks on a customer's company tax registration number. Certain tax authorities require the customer's company tax registration number to be printed on an invoice. You can assign this number when setting up a customer or when maintaining the order header.
This requires the customer's company tax registration number to be captured before an invoice can be produced for the customer.
This requires the customer's company tax registration number to be captured before an order can be added using the Sales Order Entry program or before processing a point of sale entry using the Point of Sale Entry program.
This is the default tax code for taxable promotional transactions posted directly to a sales order as miscellaneous charge lines. The Descriptive tax code must be used if defined. If you are using tax by geographic area and against the area you select to use the tax code from the stock item, then the tax code entered here is used for trade promotions. If no tax code is defined here, then no tax is applied to trade promotions, regardless of the tax options defined against the geographic area.
This uses the same tax code applied to the merchandise line for its promotional miscellaneous charge line. This does not apply to a Global off invoice line. A Global off invoice line cannot be based on a merchandise line as it is derived from any number of merchandise lines that may have different stock codes. The system therefore uses the default tax/GST code. If blank, no tax is calculated.
This is the default GST tax code for taxable promotional transactions posted directly to a sales order as miscellaneous charge lines. The Descriptive tax code must be used, if defined. If you are using tax by geographic area and against the area you select to use the tax code from the stock item, then the tax code entered here is used for trade promotions. If no tax code is defined here, then no tax is applied to trade promotions, regardless of the tax options defined against the area.
This uses the same tax code applied to the merchandise line for its promotional miscellaneous charge line. This does not apply to a Global off-invoice line (which cannot be based on a merchandise line as it is derived from any number of merchandise lines that may have different stock codes). The system therefore uses the default tax/GST code. If blank, no tax is calculated.
This includes tax/GST in accrual promotions. You will need to enter a valid tax code and define the point at which accrual tax must be applied.
This is the default tax code for deductions and accrual promotions. The Descriptive tax code must be used, if defined. When processing an accrual promotion, the sales invoicing process calculates the tax portion of the transaction based on this code, and adds it to the promotion accrual amount. When you use the AR Payments and Adjustments program to process a deduction, the tax portion of the deduction is automatically calculated and posted according to the rate defined against this tax code.
This is the default GST tax code to use for deductions and accrual promotions. The Descriptive tax code must be used, if defined. When you process an accrual promotion, the sales invoicing process calculates the tax portion of the transaction based on the default GST tax code entered here and adds it to the promotion accrual amount. When you use the AR Payments and Adjustments program to process a deduction, the tax portion of the deduction is automatically calculated and posted according to the rate defined against this GST tax code.

It enables you to update existing promotion transactions and current promotion codes with the default deductions and accrual tax and GST codes.
This calculates tax automatically during the Accounts Payable invoice posting process when an RTS with freight and handling is accepted and
-
the amount is distributed across multiple ledger accounts, or
-
the Second tier tax required setup option is enabled.
