Tax Posting. Can it be done

100% Tax Posting. Can it be done?

Question: I am trying to create a process for reducing an expense account when VAT evidence has been submitted and increase the VAT account using a Tax Code, so that the TAX is show on the Tax return report.

My failed solution was to post a FB50 with a 50 from the expenses account and then a 40 back to the expense account but with a 100% input Tax Code.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks
Adam

Answer:
no it cannot be done in the way you describe.

if you want to post direct to the VAT account with a tax code, there is a special process for doing this. first the VAT account should have a tax code setting of "<" or ">" in FS00/company code view (it probably doesn't ...). WIth this setting you can post direct to the VAT account and include the base value on which the VAT was paid. You use the normal VAT posting keys.

Answer:
In which transaction can you post the Base Value? I can't see any field within FB50. I made the change in FSS0 (not FS00) adding < (input Tax) to the Tax Category field.

Answer:
You can try use tr.code F-02 for example.

As I remember there're some troubles with direct postings to tax accounts in Enjoy transaction in 4.6

Answer:
once you have changed the setting in the GL (and the GL balance on the tax account must be zero to do this ...) you create an FB50 posting direct to the tax account. You get a message "enter the tax base for GL account xxx and company code yyy" plus a button towards the bottom of the screen that says "Tax Base". Click on this to enter the base ...

Answer:
Yes, that's done the trick. Thanks a bunch.
