This feature considers TDS Calculations in following situations:

Bill of Entry (BOE)

Customs Duty Liability arises on import of material. Customs Duty has to be paid in advance i.e., before the material is received in stores. The clearance of goods imported would be possible only after submission of the Bill of Entry in the specified format. This document details the goods imported in the consignment and the amount of Customs Duty liability for each commodity included in the consignment. Bill of Entry in Oracle Financials for India helps you manage the documentation process and account for the liability arising from the transaction.

Bill of Entry helps you manage the import process. Using BOE you can perform the following tasks:

Bill of Entry (BOE)

You must use this feature to capture the information required for the Bill of Entry report to be submitted to the Customs Authority.

While creating a Bill of Entry, you can now enter the Additional CVD percentage. This percentage is applied on the Total of all preceding taxes.

This feature helps you in calculation of the Customs Duty, Additional Duty and Surcharge based on the Assessable price entered for the transaction.

Creation of AP Invoice

An Approved AP Invoice would be automatically created for the Customs Authority with the Total Customs Duty liability arising from the transaction.

Control over Receipt Transactions

For the goods receipts that are created through India Local Receipts screen, which have Customs Duty of Tax, attached to it, a control would be placed, where you cannot quit the form until an appropriate BOE is attached to the receipt line. This would set-off the Customs liability arising from the transaction.

BOE Amount Write-Off

You have a facility to write off the Un-applied BOE amount in a BOE Invoice which no longer to be applied against any Receipts. If the Customs Duty paid need to be written off for any reasons, you can make use of this functionality. For example, the Customs Duty is paid through a BOE Invoice and during transit of goods from the port to the Organization; the duty paid goods were lost in transit. In such cases, the duty paid on such goods cannot be applied to the inventory receipt transaction and the duty paid need to be Written Off.

Payables generates the following reports applicable to India:

BOE Written off Report - Lists Bill of Entry (BOE) records written-off during the selected period.

Capture Personal Ledger Account (PLA) Payment

The Excise liability arising from the removal transactions needs to be settled within 5 days from the end of the Month / Period. The Duty can be discharged on debiting a current account, referred to as Personal Ledger Account (PLA). PLA credit is taken by depositing money in the banks on T.R.6 Challan. Capture PLA feature helps you capturing the information required for the PLA Report to be submitted to the Excise Authorities. This feature helps you in raising Invoice to capture and maintain account for the liability arising from the transaction.

Basic Business Needs

Capture the information required to update the PLA Register

Account for the liability arising from the transaction

Important: An AP Invoice would be generated on saving the Capture PLA Payment transaction.

Major Features

Major features of PLA are mentioned below

PLA Payment

The net Excise Duty liability arising during the Month / Period has to be settled by a payment made through TR 6 Challan. The PLA Register would be hit when the payment is actually made to the Excise Authority and the user acknowledges this payment from the ‘PLA Invoices’ Screen. The Capture PLA Payment feature captures the information required for the updation of the PLA Register.

Creation of AP Invoice

An AP Invoice with status ‘Validated’ would be automatically created for the Total Amount on the Capture PLA Payment lines. This would take care of accounting the liability arising from the transaction.

Tracking of Sales Tax Forms Issues

Overview

The reduced rates of Sales Tax are applicable based on issue of declaration forms to the Supplier. These forms would be as specified in the applicable Sales Tax Regime. For this you will have to keep track of the transactions that would qualify for concessional rate of Sales Tax. Further, you will have to keep track of details of Forms Issued and the Invoices included in each of the Forms.

Basic Business Needs

Third Party Taxes - Additions to Fixed Assets

Overview

Taxes and charges that are incurred on a transaction but are not paid to the Supplier of Goods are defined as Third Party Taxes in Oracle Financials for India. Third Party Taxes applicable to a transaction would depend on the Shipment terms. The terms used commonly are Ex-works and FOB. In cases where the terms of Shipment is Ex-works, the Seller delivers the goods at his premises. All costs incurred after this stage has to be borne by the Buyer. In case of Inland purchases, the cost components would be Freight, Insurance, Octroi and Entry Tax. In case of Imports the Third Party Taxes would be Freight, Insurance, Landing Charges, Inland Freight, Installation Charges and would also involve Basic Customs Duty, CVD and Customs Clearance Charges. On such transactions there is a good possibility of having multiple Third Party Vendors and Tax Authorities. Also, the amount paid would be consolidated by Third Party Vendor and Vendor Site.

Of these Tax Types, except for the Countervailing Duty, all others are Non-Recoverable Taxes. These have to be added to the Item Cost. In case of the Raw Material Purchases, the Average Cost has to be updated and in case of Capital Goods, the amount should be added to the Asset Cost.

Oracle Financials for India automates transfer of Third Party Taxes to Fixed Assets.

This feature automates transfer of following taxes/expenses to Fixed Asset Cost:

Third Party Taxes: Costs that are not billed to the PO Supplier but are incurred in the course of the transaction.

Non-Recoverable Customs Duty: Customs Duties that are paid to the Customs Authorities through Bill of Entry (BOE).

Defining TCS Authority

TCS Authority needs to be defined for settlement of TCS Taxes and payments. You can identify a TCS authority by assigning the Supplier Type as India TCS Authority. To classify a supplier as a TCS Authority, access Supplier window from India Local Payable > Supply Base > Suppliers.

Managing TDS Transactions

This Section elaborates on the effect of TDS setup on Actions applied to an Invoice. You can see the impact on the Supplier Liability, Accounting and generation of TDS Certificates.

Invoices with TDS Codes

When you create an AP Invoice, the TDS gets calculated based on the TDS Threshold Setup done.

India Distributions Global Descriptive Flexfield

Usage of earlier Invoice Distributions Descriptive Flexfield has been discontinued and the same functionality has been implemented through India Distributions Global Descriptive Flexfield.

The users should ensure that at least one segment of this India Distributions Global Descriptive Flexfield is marked as ‘Enabled’. The users should not make any of the segments as ‘Required’.

Following are the details of the Global Descriptive Flexfield:

Application: Regional Localizations

Title: JG_AP_INVOICE_DISTRIBUTIONS

Context Field Values:

Code: JA.IN.APXINWKB.DISTRIBUTIONS

Name: Invoice Distributions

Description: Asia/Pacific Invoice Distributions Information

Apart from the above, there are no changes from a user perspective in the TDS functionality due to migration of the Descriptive Flexfield to Global Descriptive Flexfield.

Prerequisites

Before you can use the TDS feature on Invoices, you should have completed the mandatory setup defined in the Setup Documentation.

1. TDS On AP Invoices and Prepayments

The TDS calculation and creation of the TDS related Invoices would take effect, during the Validation of an AP Invoice, with either TDS Code attached in Invoice Distributions or with a TDS Tax Name attached in the TDS Thresholds Setup

2. On Validation of a Standard Invoice or a Prepayment Invoice

When you validate a Standard Invoice or a Prepayment, the Supplier would be debited to the extent of Tax Deducted by means of a Credit Memo, while the Balance of Tax Authority would be increased by means of a Standard Invoice.

Thus, balance due to the Supplier would be net of the Credit Memo created on Validation. You should take adequate care to consider such Credit Memos while making the Payment to the Supplier.

3. On Application of Prepayment Invoice to Standard Invoice

When you apply a Prepayment to a Standard Invoice, both are subject to Tax Deduction, Invoices would be created for the reversal of the TDS deducted on the Prepayment. This is done by creating:

You need to ensure that Prepayment with multiple distributions, each having a different TDS Section applicable, should not be applied to a Standard Invoice. To deal with such cases, you have to create a Separate Prepayment Invoice for each of such Payments.

4. Amount considered for reversal on Prepayment Application

The following are

5. On Un-Applying Prepayment Invoice applied to a Standard Invoice

When you un-apply a Prepayment to Standard Invoice, both of these subject to Tax Deduction, Invoices would be created to reverse the effect of the Invoices created on application of the prepayment. Standard Invoice would be created for the TDS Authority and a Credit Memo would be created for a Supplier.

6. On Canceling Standard Invoice

On canceling a Standard Invoice for which Tax has been deducted, the Invoice created for the Tax Authority would be canceled and a Standard Invoice to the extent of the Tax Deducted an Standard Invoice would be created for the Supplier.

However, there would not be any effect on these Invoices if the Invoice for the Tax Authority is already paid.

You have an option to cancel the Supplier Invoice while you are voiding the Payment for the Invoice. In such cases, Invoices to Tax Authority would also be cancelled. However, it is necessary that the Tax Authority Invoice is not yet paid.

This concurrent program is available in India Local Payables Responsibility. This request would check for all Invoices that have Sales Tax with concessional Form applicability. Only validated Invoices would be considered for processing. The Invoice would be considered for Processing only if it was not processed earlier. Processed Invoices would be considered conditionally based on the changes to the document.

You can submit this request from India Local Payables Submit Requests ‘India - ST Forms Issue Processing’.

India - FA Mass Additions

After creation of Receipts, user should submit request for creation of Payables Invoices for the Third Party taxes that are included in the receipts. Meanwhile, user would create the Payables Invoices for the PO Vendor (Base Invoice). These Invoices would be either created manually or automated by submitting ‘Pay on Receipt Auto Invoice’ program for the receipt.

Once a Receipt matched AP Invoice is validated, approved and accounted, they would qualify for FA Mass Additions. User can schedule Mass Additions Create program to carry these lines to Fixed Assets. This program would only process base Invoices. As soon as this program completes successfully, ‘India - Mass Additions Creation’ program would be submitted automatically. This request would scan for all Third Party Taxes and Customs Duties applicable to the purchase. In cases where the Receipt includes any such Tax, this program would create one line per Receipt Tax line in Fixed Assets Mass Additions.

The user can view these requests in ‘Prepare Mass Additions window. These lines will carry the Invoice and PO Numbers of the First Party Invoice. The user can either create New Assets or Add these lines to an existing Asset or Merge them to another line.

‘India - Mass Additions Creation’ program can also be submitted explicitly. This can be used in exceptional scenarios where the third party tax lines are not transferred to FA.

This request can be invoked from ‘India Local Payables View Submit Requests - India Mass Additions Create’.

Define Invoice Tolerance Limits

Overview

As per Indian Central Excise Act and Income Tax Act, the Excise duty and TDS amount will be rounded off to the nearest Rupee and in effect the AP Invoices, the Header Amount and the Distribution Amount will have minor difference. Base Applications Invoices feature places an hold on Invoices that have difference between Header Amount and Distribution Amount.

Invoice Tolerance feature provided by Oracle Financials for India allows you to setup the Tolerance Percentages and Amounts. Wherever a hold is placed on Invoices due to difference in Distributions Total and the Invoice Header, then, the system would check for the tolerance limits setup for Organization. If the difference Amount falls within the specified limit, then this inserts an Additional Invoice Distribution line for the Difference Amount and the Invoice is Approved. This line would have the line type as ‘ Miscellaneous’ and the charge Account would be as specified in the Invoice Tolerance Setup for the Organization.

In cases where you are Re-Approving the Invoices, the system would check for the existence of an Distribution line for Rounding Amount. If one exists, then the amount of this line would be updated with the revised difference.

Account Payables Standalone Invoice

The standalone AP invoice is an invoice created manually by a user in Oracle Account Payables module that does not matches either to a purchase order or a receipt. The support for standalone AP Invoice functionality allows the India localization users to compute taxes such as service tax on standalone AP invoices. Primarily standalone AP invoices are raised for non-item based expense or service activities.

Value Added Tax (VAT) or Sales Tax (ST) can now be attached to invoices where item information is not critical. You can also add non-recoverable taxes of 'Any Other' type to standalone invoices. You can also use the non-recoverable tax type to add other miscellaneous charges to the invoice.

Computing Taxes on Standalone AP Invoices

You can compute taxes on standalone AP invoices in the following two ways:

Defaulting Taxes to Standalone AP Invoices

You can assign a tax category directly to a supplier site for defaulting of taxes on standalone invoices. You can do this by defining the tax category on the Supplier Tax Information India Localization window, see Defining Supplier Additional Information for the detailed information.

Tax defaulting to Standalone AP invoices happens only if a tax category is assigned at supplier site used in the invoice and when you have the invoice line in the AP Invoices workbench.

Manual Tax Computation

You can also add a tax category or tax lines manually if these were not attached at the supplier site level. You can also modify the defaulted taxes on this window. To add a tax category or tax lines, perform the following:

  1. Navigate to the invoice.

  2. Select the Lines tab.

  3. Select the invoice line.

  4. Select Tools > IL Tax Details from the menu to navigate to the India Localization Taxes window.

  5. Select the tax category at the header level, the taxes associated with this category are shown in the tax lines.

  6. Alternatively, you can also add each tax line and add precedences accordingly.

Treatment on Specific Invoices

Service Tax Recovery

If a service tax is attached to a standalone invoice line and is recoverable, then such recoverable service tax is created as a separate tax line (miscellaneous type) with the appropriate accounting code combination specified in the service tax recovery setup at the time of saving the invoice.

On validation of the invoice, the recoverable portion of the service tax is populated to the service tax repository.

Till recent, Oracle Financials for India did not allow picking the exchange rate at the time of application of the receipts. It used the Exchange rate available while entering the Invoice. The current enhancement complies with the service tax regulations and the service tax liability on foreign currency transactions is accounted based on the exchange rate applicable on the receipt date. Oracle Financials for India passes an accounting entry to bridge the rate difference between the invoice date rate and the receipt date rate.

The Service Tax interim liability is squared off based on the differential rate and the liability is not counted as part of P&L but deposited to government treasury.

Reports

All the following service tax recovery reports include the service tax information on standalone invoices.
