2 Understanding Localizations for Chile

This chapter contains the following topics:

2.1 How to Validate Tax IDs in Latin American Countries

The logic for validating tax IDs for customers and suppliers for Latin American users in countries for which localized solutions are available is different from the logic for users in other countries. JD Edwards EnterpriseOne software supports localized software for these Latin American countries:

  • Argentina

  • Brazil

  • Chile

  • Colombia

  • Ecuador

  • Mexico

  • Peru

  • Venezuela

The standard logic for validating tax IDs uses the country code of the customer or supplier, along with values in the Tax Id Validation (70/TI) user-defined code (UDC) table. For the Latin American countries, the logic uses the user's country code as set up in the User Profile Revisions program (P0092) when:

  • The user's country code is different from the supplier or customer country code, and

  • The user's country code is for a supported Latin American country.

For example, if the user's country code is AR (Argentina) and the supplier's country code is IT (Italy), the system:

  1. Verifies that the IT value exists in the 70/TI UDC table.

  2. Uses the validation routine for Argentina instead of the validation routine for Italy.


Note:

If both the user country code and the supplier or customer country code are in supported Latin American countries, do not set up the 70/TI UDC table with values for the supplier or customer country codes. For example, if the user is in Brazil, and the supplier is in Argentina, do not set up a value of AR in the 70/TI UDC table. Because the AR value does not exist in the 70/TI UDC table, the system will use the tax ID validation for the supplier's country (Argentina).

2.2 Nonreimbursable VAT Processing for Chile

According to VAT law provisions, fiscal credit can be taken only within the four tax periods following the invoice issue date, provided that VAT reimbursability validation is defined in the Company Constants by months or days.

You must set up:

  • Legal Company Constants.

    Set up the quantity of days and months for the VAT reimbursability and the date to be used to verify days and months.

  • Tax area equivalence.

    Specify which is the tax area with equivalent nonreimbursable fiscal credit for each fiscal credit of tax area.

  • Tax rate/area.

    Set up the tax area to use to enter the fiscal credit.

If the difference of days or months in a voucher is greater than the date specified in the Company Constants (nonreimbursable VAT), the system automatically modifies the tax area and the tax explanation code so that they are recorded as nonreimbursable taxes.

For each voucher line, the entered tax area is replaced by its correlative area stated in the tax area constants when these conditions apply:

  • Invoice date exceeding the legal time.

  • Tax type equal to VAT.

  • Tax percentage in the tax area different from 0.

Typically, you should use an explanation code S for the nonreimbursable VAT because this code does not discriminate tax. You can also enter vouchers with a tax explanation code and a nonreimbursable tax area code without the automatic system change option.
