6) How to Turn off Tax Calculations if the Place of Supply is Outside the Regime Country


Ans) There are two methods for disabling tax calculations where the place of supply is outside of the Regime Country.

Method 1:  Set the place of supply in the tax rules form (Say to Ship-To) and create tax rates associated with Jurisdictions for in-country locations only.  The system will only find tax rates when a jurisdiction match is found and the tax will not be applied for exports.

Method 2:  Create non-jurisdiction rates (set the jurisdiction to null on the tax rate)  and then define a  Tax Applicability Rule that references the appropriate address as shown in the screenshots below. (example below assumes a place of supply is Ship-To and there is no tax is levied on exports)

Give a rule name, start date and click next.
Select the condition set and factor set you have defined and select Result as 'Not Applicable'
Then give rule Order and enable the rule and click finish.

This rule will imply the following

> If Transaction Type = '.......', then the tax is not applicable;

So if you use this transaction type, the tax should not get calculated.

8) How to Allow the User to pick if the system should calculate tax for each Invoice Line

Ans) 1)  Tax Managers > Tax Configuration > Tax Rates > Create
Under one of your taxes (say State in this example) enter a tax rate code with the name "No Tax" and a rate of zero, null jurisdiction.

2)  Tax Managers > Tax Configuration > Tax Rules
Query your STATE tax
3) Click on Guided Rule Entry for the Determine Tax Applicability rule name (Make sure your default is Applicable)
4) Click on This rule applies to specific transactions only and set the tax event class to Sales Transactions
5) Expand the Additional Factors Available on Transaction Line section  of the "rule conditions" page and add the condition "Tax Classification Code"  Equal to  "No Tax"
6) Set the outcome to "Not applicable'
7)  Complete the rule
8)  Repeat the same rule setup for both county & city (if United States).  You do not need to create a "No Tax" tax rate under county/city, just state
9)  Enter an invoice line and select "No tax" as the tax classification code on the invoice line.  Save.  No tax will calculate.

This rule leverages the R12 feature that allows you to pick a tax rate code as a tax classification code on an invoice line. Note that this code is ignored unless a rule exists to reference the code thus it can be used as discussed above to provide flexibility to a user to not charge tax.
