Sales tax in Canada

Description

The country version for Canada of Travel Management, Release 4.5A, makes it possible for you to record Canadian goods&service tax (GST) and provincial sales tax (PST) with the respective jurisdiction codes.
For this purpose, in addition to the field for tax code, used in Europe for entry of sales and input tax (VAT), there is the new 'Juristiction code' field.
The term 'tax' is used below to indicate the above listed tax types.

The system gives you the following options:

1. No recording of tax in Travel Management
   Tax recording can be completely switched off per trip provision variant. This causes the fields 'Tax code' and 'Jurisdiction code' to be suppressed in all entry transactions of Travel Management. This is the only possible setting for the country version for USA).
2. Tax recording with jurisdiction code
   If you have activated tax recording for a trip provision variant (standard setting for Canada), specify the tax type used on expense receipts per trip expense type in the 'tax code' field and enter - depending on the tax calculation schema used - the jurisdiction code for your trip destination. Entry of jurisdiction codes is supported by F4 Help, which can be used to find the valid jurisdiction code via via country, state/provinz and Zip code.
   
   The entry of a jurisdiction code is required if the tax calculation schema you are using calls for the entry of a jurisdiction code (TAXCAJ/TAXCAX). Exception: If the expense receipt you are recording does not indicate domestic tax, for example, an expense receipt from another country.
   
   In the employee's master data (Infotype 0017: Travel Privileges), a
   jurisdiction code has also been stored - depending on the tax
   calculation schema used. This jurisdiction code is used for posting flat rates for travel costs and meals and accommodations per diems.
   
   The jurisdiction codes are either stored in the FI module (tax calculation schema TAXCAJ) or are transferred from an external tax calculation system connected with the SAP FI module (tax calculation schema TAXCAX). This accessing is completely transparent even if the HR and FI systems are separate.
   
   For tax calculation schemas TAXCA, a jurisdiction code is not necessary. The 'Jurisdiction Code' field is automatically suppressed in Travel Management dialog and the employee's master data.

Effects on Customizing

1. Until now, the jurisdiction code could not be recorded in Travel Management. Trip expenses were posted without tax (the entries in the 'Tax code' field were not transferred during FI posting of receipts). The option 'posting without tax allowed' had to set for the G/L accounts posted to.
2. If, as described under 1., you want to continue posting trip expenses without tax, select the 'No input tax' option in the view 'Global Settings' under 'Input tax'. In the US country version, this is the only setting allowed.

If, however, you want to record GST and PST in the Canadian country version, set the 'Input tax per trip expense type' option in the view 'Global Settings' under 'Input tax'. The G/L accounts posted to must permit 'posting without tax' because no jurisdiction code can be entered for international receipts. In the employee's master data (Infotype 0017: Travel Privileges), store an employee-specific jurisdiction code to be used for posting flat rates for travel costs, and meals and accommodations per diems if the amounts contain tax.
