Classic withholding tax set-up

Hi Gurus,
I need your help in configuring the 1042 withholding set-up using classic withholding. Our requireemnt is to withhold tax amounts at the time of payment and the tax rate depends on if there is any treaty between the US and the country where vendor is located. if there is no treaty, the tax rate will be 30%. There are different countries where vendors are located.
I have defined tax codes with tax rates as 5%, 10%, and 30% for the US in classic witholding. I have also assigned a tax GL account to post the tax amount. When I post an invoice and make payment, the amount gets posted to the tax account but I cannot print the tax certificate using report S_P00_07000134. I am not very clear on if my configuration is correct. can someone please help me with the following questions:
1. Do I need to define tax codes for each country where vendors are located? My set-up only has such codes for the US.
2. Do I need to define any formulas for tax calculation? At present, I have not defind any formula. I have specified tax rate for each tax code.
3. What are the steps to configure tax form printing for 1042 forms for the US?
I really appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Best Regards,
Shalu

Hi Ram,
Sorry for the late reply with solution.
There is only one TDS tax code (Classic) field is available in Vendor Master.   Please note that multiple tax codes can be entered for different categories in Extended Witholding Tax (EWT).
Please create whatever tax codes you require.   Take the following example:
Your total Invoice amount as 20,000 and the
cost of parts is 10,000
cost of services is 10,000
If you have entered other tax code for this Vendor in Vendor Master, you can do the following method.
After entering the Header Text and GR selection, you can move the next field for Withholding TAx & system shows the existing tax code.     Select & Change the tax code at transaction level through F4. Also enter 10,000 only in the base value then tax calculations are done for 10,000 only based on the selected tax code.
Try this in Dev (if you have) Server if not, please give the results.

Classic Withholding Tax and Extended Withholding Tax

Hi,
What is the difference between Classic Withholding Tax and Extended Withholding Tax.
Regards
RKG.

Hi
Withholding tax is calculated and posted to the appropriate withholding tax accounts at different stages, depending on the legal requirements in each country. As a rule, withholding tax is posted at the same time that the payment is posted, in other words the outgoing payment (Accounts Payable) or incoming payment (Accounts Receivable), is reduced by the withholding tax amount.
In certain countries, such as Brazil, the Philippines, and Spain, withholding tax can or must be posted when the invoice is posted. This means that the amount receivable or payable is reduced by the withholding tax amount.
Extended withholding tax supports both concepts.
The key concept in extended withholding tax is the distinction between withholding tax type and withholding tax code. While withholding tax types represent basic calculation rules, specific features of these rules - in particular the percentage rate -
are represented by the withholding tax code. You can define any number of withholding tax codes for a given withholding tax type.
If a particular transaction requires more than one kind of withholding tax, this is covered in the SAP System by defining more than one withholding tax type.
When entering a line item, you can enter withholding tax data for each of these withholding tax types.
How To Configure Withholding Tax?
Steps for extended withholding tax :
1. Check withholding tax countries
2. Define Ex. Withholding tax types for invoice postings
3. Define Ex. Withholding tax codes
4. Formula for Ex. Withholding tax calculation
5. Assign Ex. Withholding tax types to Company code
6. Activate Ex. Withholding tax
8. Create a G/L a/C for Ex. Withholding tax
9. Define A/C for Ex. Withholding tax (DBWW)
10. Make changes in Vendor master (XK02)
11. Maintain Company Code Settings:
Path: IMG -> Logistic -> General -> Taxes on goods movement -> India -> Maintain company code settings
12. Activate country version for specific fiscal year position
Path: IMG -> FA -> -> **** -> Taxes on sales purchases -> Basic Setting -> India -> Activate country specific for fiscal year position

1099 Report for OTV - Classic Withholding Tax

Hello Members,
We run on SAP ERP 6.0 EHP6 and use the classic withholding tax functionality.
Wondering what the rest of the world with classic setup is using for 1099-MISC reporting for one time vendors ?
Currently we follow a cumbersome process of pulling FBL1N report (which doesn't have otv address information), and then FCHN to get vendor address details. With this we change a vendor and update the master data and payment document withholding information in QAS to print the paper form from QAS.
I read a few of the forums and the idea I get is, if the vendor is to be 1099 reported, it should be a standard vendor.
Questions:
1) Any standard functionality available within classic setup for 1099 MISC reporting of OTV ?
2) Does using extended functionality make OTV reporting any better
3) Any best practices that you are following which you think is better than ours ?

Ani

Classic Withholding Tax

Can anyone tell how can we find for which company codes in ECC the classic withholding tax is paid or for which company codes the classic withholding tax is active? Is there any config settings similar to extended withholding tax available which shows for which company codes classic withholding tax is active?

Pete,
There's no step to assign co. codes to classic WHT. All you have to do is to maintain countries where WHT will be applicable (IMG path: Fin. Actg. --> Fin. Accts. Global Settings --> Withholding Tax --> Withholding Tax --> Basic Settings --> Maintain Countries) and create WHT code types for countries (IMG path: Fin. Actg. --> Fin. Accts. Global Settings --> Withholding Tax --> Withholding Tax --> Calculation --> Maintain Tax Codes).
SAP documentation says:
The SAP R/3 System provides you with two procedures for processing withholding tax:
"Standard" and extended withholding tax.
"Standard" withholding tax is the procedure that has always been supported by the system. It offers you the following features:
- Withholding tax for accounts payable
- Withholding tax calculation during payment
- Withholding tax code per vendor line item
Extended withholding tax provides the following additional features:
- Multiple withholding taxes per customer or vendor line item
- Withholding tax calculation for partial payments
- Enhancements in withholding tax calculation
- Withholding tax calculation during invoice entry and during payment
Clearly, there's no explicit step to assign co. codes to classic WHT,while there's an explicit step to activate extended WHT functionality at co. code level.

How to find if Classic Withholding Tax is Active or Not

Hi All,
How to find if Classic Withholding Tax is Active or Not for a company code. It is a U.S. company code.

Hello Kumar,
You can use tcode SE16 and view V_T001_EXT to check if extended withholding tax is active or not, for each company code.
or if you prefer, use SE16 and table T001. Field WT_NEWWT.
If extended is not active, then classic is used.

Withholding tax setting

Der experts !
I enabled withholding tax management in General Settings and in Item master data. Also I defined a withholding tax.
When trying to enter a tax, on a AP invoice, the fields 'WTax Liable' displays 'No' and it is unchangeable ('Yes' is no longer avalilable here). How can I do to change this field to 'Yes' such that the amount of tax is displayed on the document footer (field 'WTax Amount')?
Please help me solve this problem.

Hello Yves Ngom,
Check in the BP Master Data whether for the particular BP U have set the withholding tax and selected the a withholding tax code as default. Further now check under the row level of the invoice for the withholding tax field and select 'Yes' from drop down.
Further Check in G/L Determination under Purchase & Sales Tab.

Changing from classic withholding tax to extendend withholding tax

Hi all
the client is using clasic withholding tax. now they want extendend withholding tax
can you give clarification on this . what are the changes i need to modify?
this is very urgent
Thanks
Krishna

hello
I think you need to maintain all configuration steps for the extended WT.
Change company code assignments.
Check if new number ranges need to be defined.
Check the tax codes.
But you might have issues with some MIRO transactions when switching over. Check this scenario.
Other wise, I do not see an issue in changing.

Withholding Tax Change over from Classic to Extended

Client is using Classic Withholding Tax. They are able to see the tax codes while posting the vendor invoices through F-43 & FB60. But they are not able to see the tax codes on the invoices processed through MIRO. They want the tax codes to be displayed on the invoices processed through MIRO. Can anybody please help me in finding the solution for this issue??

Hi Nagesh Ram ,
MIRO transaction only supports the Extended withholding tax. If you still want to deduct the tax with classic withholding tax in miro. You block the BAPI of Extended withholding tax and activate the amount split in the T.code: OBY6 .
You also contact your Developer to do this.
Thanks

Generic Withholding Tax Reporting Error

Dear SAP Experts,
We have been using the classic Withholding Tax which works just fine to generate print outs and the electronic file that we submit to the IRS. However, it does not seem to correctly provided data for alternate payees for example: if vendor A provides invoice and if we pay to vendor B (which is same vendor at different address) the system does not pick up the payment..The actual payment generates the 1099 requirement. If we were not submitting electronically we could execute the 1099 report for invoices as opposed to payments (for just those vendors with alternate payees).
I would appreciate if anyone could help me in resolving this issue.
Actually we are thinking to use the extended withholding tax but it does not appear to work correctly either it is not set up to generate the e-file or hardcopy 1099s and it also seems to be fixed on looking at invoices not payments.(which i think is not correct) For example .if we get in invoice in Dec 2009 ...but do not pay until Jan 2010...the invoice should not be counted in 2009 1099 data...the payment should be counted in 2010 1099 data. I wanted to confirm if the extended withholding tax performs in the way that i mentioned above, or iam wrong.
Kind Regards
Jai

We are on ECC 6.0 and have been using the Extended Withholding Tax and it works correctly for Alternative Payees. Where we have the vendor master set up with an alternate or permitted payee. The 1099 is produced on the main vendor's ID and not the remit to address. In config, you have a choice whether to produce the file/forms based off the invoice or payment. It's under the Define Output Group. Choose your process (i.e. US_1099). There's a section entitled "Read Withholding Tax Items from" and you can choose Option 2 for Vendor Payments. This Define Output Group is also where you configure which Smart form to use and your DME file format and where to save your file. Hope that helps.

Withholding Tax Certificate (Spain)

Hi,
One of the requirements in the project I am working at the moment is to generate the Withholding Tax Certificate and I can find out the way of generating the print out. The country where the report needs to be generated is Spain. Could anyone give me a hand? since I cannot find a standard form for this.. Do I have to generate a new form copying from an existing one? Is the WH Tax Certificate generated from the tr. S_PL0_09000447 and then this calls the form generated for this report?
Thanks and regards in advance.

Hi
Symptom
Your company code is in Spain and you work with classic withholding tax.
This note is designed to help during the changeover from classic to extended withholding tax for Spain.
Other terms
Withholding tax, QSSKZ, customer, vendor, withholding tax changeover, withholding tax migration, WTMG, WTMIGRATION, classic withholding tax, QST, extended withholding tax, Spain
Reason and Prerequisites
The changeover from classic to extended withholding tax must be performed using a conversion tool (Transaction WTMG).
Solution
Since Release 40B, the extended withholding tax function has been available in the standard system. By changing to the extended withholding tax, it makes using withholding tax on the debit side possible. In addition it is possible to post different withholding tax categories in a document at the same time. You can find more information on the extended withholding tax function in the SAP Library.
It is only possible to change from classic withholding tax to extended withholding tax using a conversion tool.
On no account should you activate the extended withholding tax in your system without using this tool if you have been using the classic withholding tax up to now.
Information concerning the changeover and the changeover tool can be found in Note 337267.
This note describes the creation of the withholding tax types and withholding tax codes and the use of the changeover tool for the country Spain.
However this note does not replace the documentation concerning the withholding tax changeover in the SAP Library (or the Word file during the transport from the SAPServ according to Note 186989), it simply provides additional information for Spain!
1. The following is a list of the withholding tax codes used in classic withholding tax. If the withholding tax codes you are using are called differently, you must take that into account later during the assignment of the withholding tax codes of classic withholding tax to the type/code combinations of extended withholding tax.
Probably the specified withholding tax codes do not agree with those which have you used in classic withholding tax. Since the specified codes are the official ones, first change your Customizing for classic withholding tax such that the specified withholding tax codes are defined for the different withholding tax codes.
2. Define the official withholding tax keys for the country ES in extended withholding tax under Financial Accounting Global Settings --> Withholding Tax --> Extended Withholding Tax --> Basic Settings --> Define Official Withholding Tax Codes:
3. Create the following withholding tax types of extended withholding tax for the country ES:
To create the withholding tax types, select Financial Accounting Global Settings --> Withholding Tax --> Extended Withholding Tax --> Calculation --> Withholding Tax Type --> Define Withholding Tax Type for Payment Posting in the Implementation Guide for Financial Accounting.
Select 'Net amount' in the "Calculation/Base amount" screen area in each case
Select 'W/tax comm. round' in the "Calculation/Rounding rule" screen area in each case
Select 'C/disc pre W/tx' in the "Calculation/Cash discount" screen area in each case
Set the 'Post w/tax amount' indicator in the "Calculation" screen area in each case
Select 'No accumulation' in the "Accumulation type" screen area in each case
Set the 'W/tax base manual', 'Manual w/tax amnt' and 'No cert. numbering' indicators in the "Control data" screen area in each case
Select 'W/tax code level' in the "Define minimum/maximum amounts", "Base amount" screen area in each case
Select 'W/tax code level' in the "Define minimum/maximum amounts", "Withholding tax amount" screen area in each case
Select 'No centr. invoice' in the "Central invoice" screen area in each case
Select 'Minimum Check at Item Level' in the "Minimum Check" screen area or 'No min. base check at item level' in the "Minimum base check" screen area in each case
All the other fields in the withholding tax type must be left unselected.
4. Create the withholding tax codes belonging to the withholding tax types:
To create the withholding tax codes, select Financial Accounting Global Settings --> Withholding Tax --> Extended Withholding Tax --> Calculation --> Withholding Tax Codes --> Define Withholding Tax Codes in the Implementation Guide for Financial Accounting.
Copy the names from the first list (under point 1).
Enter the official withholding tax key (Off. W/Tax Key) in the corresponding field as specified above.
Select the same percentage as defined in the corresponding withholding tax code of classic withholding tax under 'Calculation of the withholding tax base amount' for the percentage subject to tax in the "Base amount" screen area. (the percentage should agree with the above-mentioned percentage subject to tax (%sub.to tax)).
Select the same rate as defined in the corresponding withholding tax code of classic withholding tax under 'Calculation of withholding tax' for the withholding tax rate in the "Calculation" screen area (The rate should agree with the above-mentioned withholding tax rate (WT rate)).
Set value '1' for the Post.indic. in the "Postings" screen area
Select the corresponding settings as in the corresponding withholding tax code of classic withholding tax in the "Reporting information" screen area (The settings should agree with the above-mentioned specifications for region and income type (Inc.type)).
All the other fields in the withholding tax code must remain empty.
Create a withholding tax conversion run:
Call Transaction WTMG
Choose 'Create'
Assign a name to the conversion run
Select change 'Choose Company Codes' and enter the company code to be converted and country 'ES'
Select change 'Type/Code Assignment' and assign the respective new withholding tax types and withholding tax codes of extended withholding tax to the withholding tax codes of classic withholding tax defined for country 'ES':
Execute the 'Analysis'
Select the option 'Several withholding tax types possible per vendor' under 'Master data settings'
Carry out the conversion steps (to start with in the test run).
After the withholding tax changeover has occurred, create the following recipient codes for the country ES to complete Customizing:
To create the recipient code, select Financial Accounting Global Settings --> Withholding Tax --> Extended Withholding Tax --> Reporting --> Define Recipient Code for Extended Withholding Tax in the Implementation Guide for Financial Accounting.

Extended withholding tax - US Error 7Q 301 updating withholding tax

Cannot get the system to allow me to change the withholding tax information on the accounting documents. Extended withholding tax has been configured. The fields in the line items have been opened to allow changes to the withholding tax data, both for K and S. The venodor has been updated for the withholding tax type and code. Program RFWT0010 does not update any records. The funny thing is it works in the sandbox but not the regular testing dev client. I have compared config and it is the same in both places. Any ideas?
Thank you.

Hi,
Please refer to note 363650, you will see the following information;
C) Change Rules for classical and extended withholding tax If the withholding tax base amount should be changed after a
docment has been paid already, the following steps are required:
For Classical Withholding Tax and only if the withholding tax amount is zero.
Change of withholding tax base amount or withholding tax code of a cleared invoice.
If the withholding tax base amount and/or the withholding tax code needs to be changed after an invoice has been cleared please follow steps;
As you see from the above information the following quotation "only if the withholding tax amount is zero". Is this the case in your scenario?
If a withholding tax amount other than zero has been posted, you cannot change the values via transaction FB02.
Please also review the IMG documentation for transaction OB32 via spro -> Financial accounting -> Financial accounting global settings -> Document -> Line item -> Document change rules, line item. here you will see the following information;
Document Change Rules, Line Item
In this activity, you determine under which circumstances fields within posted documents can be changed.
Note
For a number of fields, the system itself determines that they can no longer be changed after posting. This includes all fields which are central to the principles of orderly accounting, for example, the amount posted and the account.
The system also prevents the update objects from being changed in documents which have already been posted, independent of the document change rules
Thus as you can see from the above description if an amount has been posted to the account you cannot change the fields despite entering in the field in OB32 as changable.
Please also be aware that the important table concerning extended withholding tax is WITH_ITEM. This is where the data found through the button 'Withholding tax Information' in FB03 is held.
(For example in the 'Withholding tax data button' If you click on the help of the field Withholding Code and select the button 'Technical information' you will see that the field name is WT_WITHCD) The fields concerned with same
WITH_ITEM-WT_QSSHB
WITH_ITEM-WT_WITHCD
should be customized in the document change rules (transaction OB32) You will also have to ensure that the posting keys in the document are set to optional (transaction ob41)

Changing Withholding tax base amount- 1099 invoice

Hi Friends,
Need your help again.
Using T. Code FB09, i can change WHT base as long as the invoice is not cleared. However, how to change WHT base where a particular invoice has been cleared?
I have actually made some cchanges to configuration where by i have removed tick for 'line item not cleared'. Ideally with this setting it should allow me to change to WHT base. But the same is not happening.

Withholding tax settings

Hello Friends,
With respect to withholding tax settings i have a query.
In the IMG menu there is withholding tax setting available under Financial Accounting >Financial Accounting Global Settings and also availalbe under Financial Accounting >Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable>Business Transactions>Incoming Invoices/Credit Memos>Carry Out and Check Settings for Withholding Tax.
Can any one please tell what is the difference between these two.
The helptext at the nodeCarry Out and Check Settings for Withholding Tax says
You can make new settings for withholding tax here, or check existing settings:
If you have already made settings for withholding tax in the "Financial Accounting Global Settings" Implementation Guide, you can check that those settings are correct here.
If you have not yet made any settings, you can do so here.
As per the above point 1 in the help text what ever setting we do in "Financial Accounting Global Settings" should be availalbe here for viewing or editing. But this is not the case.
Is it that the settings in "Financial Accounting Global Settings" and "Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable"
are for different purposes ? If yes where.
thanks & regards

Hi Mauri,
Thanks for the reply that in deed helped me in understanding.
Can it be said that in the earlier versions where classic withholding tax was only available the customization settings options were availabe in both these nodes, wherein these settings can be done from anywhere.
But in case of extended withholding tax all the cusotmizations will be done at one place i.e., in Financial Accounting Global Settings.
Thanks

Error in numbering of withholding tax certificate

Hi ,
I am getting this error, and i have done the certificate certificate number range, and also the number group, but no result came....
Its giving me this error....
please help asap....I will assign points.
Error in numbering of withholding tax certificate
Message no. 7Q626
Diagnosis
An error has occurred during withholding tax certificate numbering.
Procedure
Check your Customizing settings for withholding tax certificate numbering
Thnaks

Check SAP Note No. 127352. Just in case if you cannot, here is what it says.
Solution
Check your Customizing settings:
In the IMG check the settings for
Financial Accounting -> Financial Accounting Global Settings -> ...:
Settings for the company code:
... -> Company Code -> Activate extended withholding tax:
1. Is the extended withholding tax activated for the company code?
(Indicator: Extended withholding tax - yes )
Caution!
If the extended withholding tax is not activated, you should not activate this under any circumstances in the current, productive system. Since the classical and the extended withholding tax functions are independent of each other and also the respective withholding tax data is kept in the database in different tables, there is a need for a separate change process (migration) for the migration from the classical to the extended withholding tax functions. The migration defines a mapping of the withholding tax data (Customizing data, master data and transaction data) of the old withholding tax functions on the data of the extended withholding tax function and creates this. However, no tool is made available by SAP that allows a return to the classical withholding tax functions.
Settings for the extended withholding tax functions:
... -> Withholding Tax -> Extended Withholding Tax -> ...:
... -> Calculation -> Withholding Tax Codes ->
-> Define withholding tax codes
2.1 Is a percentage rate entered for the withholding tax codes?
2.2 If the checkbox Withholding tax formula is activated in the withholding tax code, a scaling must be defined under
... -> Calculation -> Withholding Tax Codes -> Define withholding tax formulas
... -> Company code -> Assign Withholding Tax Types to Company Codes
3. Are the withholding tax types assigned to the company code?
3.1 Is the company code defined as withholding tax obligated from for withholding tax type? (Indicator: Withholding tax obligated from - yes).
3.2. Is the current callup point within the validity period for the obligation?
3.3 For withholding tax on the debit side: is company code defined as subject to withholding tax? (Customer data Subject to withholding tax - yes )
... -> Postings -> Accounts for withholding tax -> ...
4.1 An account must be defined both on the debit side and on the credit side for withholding tax to be paid over.
... -> Define accounts for Withholding Tax to be Paid Over
4.2 For withholding tax codes which are posted with 'Grossing up', an account must be defined for the 'Grossing up' offsetting entry.
... -> Define Accts for W/hold.Tax for "Gross.up" Offsetting Entry
4.3 For withholding tax on the debit side: If the withholding tax type (only for withholding tax during payment) allows self-withholding agent and the company code is authorized to self-withholding agent, an account must be defined for self-withheld withholding tax.
... -> Define Accounts for Self-Withholding Tax
4.4 For withholding tax codes which should be posted with offsetting entry, an account must be defined for offsetting entry.
... -> Define Accounts for Withholding Tax Offsetting Entry
Depending on the rules which are selected for the account determination of the above-mentioned accounts an account must be defined for every withholding tax type or for every combination withholding tax type/tax code. Furthermore, you can also control to debits/credits indicator.
Posting ->, ... Certificate numbering for withholding tax
5. If for withholding tax type ( ...Calculation -> Withholding Tax Type) the option 'no certificate numbering' is not selected, you must carry out all corresponding settings.
Check the settings of the field status groups:
6. The withholding tax for reconciliation and posting accounts must be set to as not suppressed (required or optional).
Check the settings of the vendor or customer master data:
7. The withholding tax types and indicators must be defined as
'liable'.
8. The dialog box does not work if the current callup point is
within the exemption period and no collapsed withholding tax rate
was maintained or if this is equal zero.
