Sales tax on online orders

I am unclear on the sales tax situation for online orders of iPads.
Will I be charged sales tax if I order an iPad thru the Apple online store?
If online orders are sales tax free why are there so may people lining up at stores to buy iPads (and other products for that matter) which will end up more expensive?

Whether or not Apple (or any online merchant) collects and remits sales tax depends to a large extent on whether they have a retail presence in the state (in this case, if there are Apple Stores there). Another factor is whether the company does enough online business there that the state chooses to expend the resources to collect sales taxes even without a retail presence -Amazon.com, for instance, collects sales tax for sales in Tennessee because they do tons of business here and because many of their distributors and shippers use warehouses here which Tennessee has indicated a willingness to seize in lieu of the tax dollars. Consequently Amazon caved in and now collects taxes at the time of sale. Apple already has retail stores here so they collected taxes on my order at the time I placed it.

We have two customers that want to implement sales tax to the order details when generating a custom report for orders. I don't see any option to do so, but maybe I'm missing something. Is it possible?

USA Sales Tax defaulting from Location other than Ship To Site

We have a requirement to default USA Sales Tax Rates in Order / Invoice based on Location say 'Loc1' different from Ship to Location say 'Loc2'. The location 'Loc1' is captured in Order Line DFF. We have only two types of tax codes defined for USA.
1) Sales Tax - this is Location Based Tax (combination of State, County and City)
2) Exempt - this is Non Taxable
Questions:
1) Is there a way to default Tax Code and Tax Rate based on 'Loc1' without any customizations?
2) Just in case we customize the Tax Code defaulting to default based on location 'Loc1', is there a way to default & calculate Tax Rate corresponding to location 'Loc1'?
3) What are the API/s to calculate Tax Rates with Location as input?
4) What are the ways so that Tax Code & Tax Rate forcefully assigned at Order Line does not alter at Autoinvoice Interface and then Invoice?
-Amrut

Yes, It is happening for all suppliers. but not for all locations.
I am able to book the order by selecting the other location.
I have checked the location defied in oracle inventory and it looks ok.

Unable to remove/change sales tax in sales order

Hi Sappers!!
I are unable to remove sales tax from a sales order. I have tried to update the sales order by clicking on Header>Conditions Tab>Update-->Double click on G to redetermine the taxes.
The sales order was entered the same day the Vertex record was input.
Appreciate your pointers and time!!

Hi,
If you want to remove the sales tax from sales order,
first of all goto FTXP, give the country, for which you want to change the tax code percentage, and give the tax code and press enter, there it will show existing the tax percentage for that condition type (say earlier it was 10%). Now you want to make it 0% then remove 10 and put it as 0 and save it.
Next goto condition record VK12 maintaine new tax percentage which you want to change. Like earlier 10% was there but you want to make it as 0%, then maintaine in VK12 tax condition record.
Now goto your sale order in change mode VA02, and update the procedure using G, then the new tax willbe reflected i.e., 0% will come.
Hope this is clear

Order Import of Sales Tax

I have an order with a number of order lines. For each of the order line there is a sales tax associated with it. The orders are created outside OM and needs to be imported into Order Import as order lines and sales tax lines.
What is the proces to setup Order Import and OM to receive orders, order lives and tax lines?
The only way I have found is to setup "dummy" transaction types.
Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.
Please reply here or to [email protected]

Calculate sales tax based on all line items on the order

My users have asked to determin tax on the sales order, based on all the line items on the order. For example, if all the items are for product only, or if all the line items are for labor only, or if there is a mix of product and labor,
Order 1
line 1 product flag as both for vertex
line 2 labor flag as both for vertex
Order 2
line 1 product flag as product only
line 2 product flag as product only
Order 3
line 1 labor flag as labor only
line 2 labor flag as labor only
I do not see away to do this while the order is being created. In the order 1 example above, line one is entered, priced, and taxed as product only (it is the only line on the order at that time and it is product only). Line two is entered, it is marked as both. But I cannot send line item one back through vertex marked as both. Vertex processing is already complete.
I have looked at using both FYTX0001 and FYTX0002. With both of these exits I can only work with a single line item, i.e. once item one is processed it will not go through the exit when item two is added.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

Hi WCG,
Our business is located in California as well. California is a modified-origin state, where state, county, and city taxes are based on the origin of the sale, while district taxes are based on the destination of the sale. You only need to add Sales tax when your customer's billing address is in California. I do not believe that Catalyst currently supports district based sales tax. You could look into a third party solution like TaxJar and see if it could be integrated into Catalyst. We currently charge our California based customers exactly what we would charge them in our retail store.
So you want to do something like this:

Clearing Sales Tax at Header Level in an Order

Hi,
I have a requirement to not charge any tax on an order if the credit card used on the order is a government credit card. Currently I have implemented this logic in USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT_PREPARE. I am able to clear out the sales tax at the line level but this change does not reflect at the header level. I have to manually click on update pricing to zero out the tax displayed at the header level. I could not find a variable to tap into header level pricing condition and tax value field.
I would greatly appreciate if any one can give me some pointers on where to look for header level data for tax. Also, is there any better user exit to implement this functionality.
Folliwing is the code I am using to clear out line item level tax:
          LOOP AT XKOMV INTO WA_XKOMV WHERE KSCHL EQ 'UTXJ'.    "GET THE TAX CONDITION
              CLEAR WA_XKOMV-KWERT.                               "Set the TAX to 0
              CLEAR WA_XKOMV-KAWRT.
              CLEAR WA_XKOMV-KBETR.
              MODIFY TABLE XKOMV FROM WA_XKOMV
                TRANSPORTING KWERT KAWRT KBETR.
          ENDLOOP.
          LOOP AT XVBAP INTO WA_XVBAP.    "GET THE TAX VALUE
              CLEAR WA_XVBAP-MWSBP.                               "Set the TAX to 0
              MODIFY TABLE XVBAP FROM WA_XVBAP
                TRANSPORTING MWSBP.
          ENDLOOP.
Thanks,

Hi,
In the case of sales cycle, All the item level taxes are summirised and come to the header level. So we can't find the conditions at header level for taxes. Check the user exit , because, the values are already moved to the header level structure and then you are clearing the item level taxes. I hope thats why the changes are not reflected in header level.

Sales Tax rate in Sales Order

Hi All,
I am writing an application which is suppose to import Sales Orders from other application, I cannot use DTW because I need to do some calculations while importing orders so am using DI to write code.
Ok now comes the real problem, I have Sales Tax rate in my source application and I want to use same percentage in order, but DI does not allows me to specify sales tax rate (%) for the order instead it uses default customer tax code. Is there any way where I can override default tax rate and populate it with the number from source application?
Thanks Gurus
Jiten

Dear Jitendra,
maybe it would be better to post your question to forum <Expert Forums\SAP Business One\SAP Business One SDK>. There you will find experts in programming DI and UI.
The forum <Expert Forums\SAP Business One\SAP Business One> you posted to is rather for questions concerning the use of SAP Business One and not the programming of its interfaces. Of course, it may be possible that someone answers your question here, too. But it is more likely to find answers in the others forum.

Sales tax in sales order & billing

hi,
if i maintain sales tax condition type in customer master, while doing VA01 the sales tax must come automatically without selecting the condition type.in sales order PR00 only we want to enter.
or suppose i maintain sales tax condition type in material master, if i select material in VA01, is it pickup the sales tax condition type automatically.
can any one give me the suggestion on this.
govind.

Hi
Posting of Sales Tax or any taxes are thru Tax Codes. We have to configure tax code A0 for out put tax & V0 for input tax. Tax codes can be configured thru T-code - FTXP. The rate can be maintained at config level while creating the tax code or else we configure the tax code and later we shall maintian rate for the tax code in T-code FV11.
Note: - Tax codes are exported from one client (development client) to anoter and inported in receiving client (testing cleint).
Taxes rate maintaince is not thru VK11 it is FV11 for a tax code.
Thanks

Sales tax from buying a laptop from bestbuy online?

I'm considering buying a specific laptop online, since it's the only option available.
I went ahead with a payment procesws just to see how much it would cost after taxes (though I did not actually pay), and to my surprise, there were no taxes at all!
Is this even possible? I was using Paypal.
My father has told me that there are sales taxes on laptops so that I should be prepared.
But online, it said there weren't any, and that my total was just what I purchased?

nenepapili,
Due to complicated tax codes existing at state, county and local levels, there are times when the tax is calculated only once the product has shipped. While this is not usually the case, it can result in more or less tax being charged.
I'd recommend checking out what your sales tax is in your area and plan on that amount being charged.

Does the online Apple store observe sales tax holidays?

(I know this is a bit off-topic, but there isn't a more suitable category that I could find)
Does anyone know if the online Apple store respects state sales tax holidays, or does it charge sales tax regardless?

I try not to use telephones if I can possibly help it.
The online store does indeed respect state sales tax holidays:
http://store.apple.com/us/browse/campaigns/tax/holiday

Please attach Tax Invoice to an email with all online orders.

Here is a great idea for you Mr Schenkel - why not attach a Tax Invoice with the online orders? So simple and will save your customers and your staff soooooo much time chasing proof of purchase incase of warranty issues......

Conditions in Purchase Order - No scroll bar/Sales Tax value not in mmr

Hello,
I am stuck in a weird problem where I have created a Condition Calculation Schema, assigned it to Schema group and assigned that schema to vendor, but when i open my condition in the PO, it does not give me scroll bar i.e. I have calculation Schema with around 10+ conditions, but when I try to put all the conditions in PO at one time, the scroll bar doesnot come up and without it, I cannot view all my conditions in the PO. Its saving the conditions though as seen in report, but cannot display it in PO without the scroll bar. Any ideas?
Another assignment is that sales tax value and % should not increase the mmr value at time of GR, but when I do GR its adding the sales tax value to mmr value, my requirement is just Gross price be added to mmr, not sales tax value/%. I tried the Statistical checks in Calculation Schema, but to no vail, at GR the sales tax value is being added to the mmr record. Any ideas?
Lots of points awarded for answer/answers.
Any clue will help
Thank you/Afshad

Q Another assignment is that sales tax value and % should not increase the mmr value at time of GR.
Ans:
Dear Afshad,
Reference to your question, you need to do few settings in your Condition Type and Pricing Schema, if you need Sales Tax value & % not to include in your Material value.
1 - In SPRO, Check that in your condition type, Control data 2 tab, Accruals check box should not be selected.
2 - In your Calculation Schema, against your condition types for Sales Tax % and Sales Tax Value, select the check box for Manual & Statistics.
3 - Also in your Calculation Schema, you should not select any account key in AccKey (Account Key) and in Accruals colomns.
If any one of these setting is not defined, the valuation price for your material will be increased due to the fact that your settings for Condition type and Calculation Schema is allowing the same to hit the value of your material directly.
Hope it works for you.
Regards
Jibran
