Understanding Excise Duty, Sales Tax, VAT, and Customs Duty Structure

India's excise duties, sales taxes, VAT, and customs duties are all similar in the way that they are set up and calculated. All are tied closely to the location where business is conducted and have a tax determination structure that is influenced by common factors.

Excise duty, sales tax, VAT, and customs duty calculation methods are similar in that they can be calculated based on percentage, quantity, or ad hoc amount, and they require the calculation of multiple taxes and tax lines for each tax type. The excise duty, sales tax, VAT, and customs duty structure is designed to be flexible enough to accommodate changes that may impact rate determination resulting from changes to excise, sales, customs, and VAT statutes and legislation.

Various business rules exist for determining the basis on which taxes are calculated. Accordingly, you can define the elements that form the basis on which tax is calculated, and define the tax calculation scheme. You define how accounting entries are created for excise duties, sales taxes, VAT, and customs duty, as well as how inventory values are updated with nonrecoverable taxes.

Note. The tax structure is geared toward handling excise, sales, service taxes, and customs duty. Luxury, entertainment, and other similar taxes are handled as service taxes. Other taxes, such as entry tax and Octroi, are handled by using the Miscellaneous Charges feature.

Common Tax Structure Data Flow

Defining data in the common tax structure populates tables that provide the hierarchical structure for excise duty, sales tax, VAT, and customs duty determination. The core of the common tax structure consists of the following elements:

Tax component codes.
Tax dependency codes.
Tax calculation codes.
Tax categories.

Data that is defined for each of these elements is used to build the Tax Determination table (EXS_TAX_DETERM). The following diagram illustrates the basic data flow within the common tax structure, resulting in tax determination data that provides tax calculation codes to transactions:

Tax Determination table

Tax Calculation Code Default Hierarchy

Based on data that is stored in the Tax Determination table, the Tax Determination function (tax engine) selects default tax calculation codes for transactions by using one or a combination of parameters. It takes the transactions and lines that are in the Tax Determination table with common transaction types, tax authorities (for sales tax or VAT lines), and benefit schemes (for customs duty) and applies the following tax calculation code default hierarchies:

Tax calculation code default hierarchy for excise duty and sales tax/VAT

Tax calculation code default hierarchy for customs duty

Each level in these diagrams represents a factor in the hierarchy that can provide a tax calculation code default value. At the top of the triangle is the most specific level from which the Tax Determination function can derive a tax calculation code for excise duty, sales tax or VAT, and customs duty. At the base of the triangle is the least specific default level.

When determining the tax calculation code to use for a transaction, the tax routine first looks to the highest default level for a value. If it cannot find one there, it moves down the relevant levels in the triangle, searching for a defined value to use.

For example, if you have a purchase order for an excise-applicable item, the system looks at the transaction vendor and item and looks to the tax determination table to determine whether a tax calculation code is defined for the vendor's tax category and item. If not, it looks to determine whether a tax calculation code is assigned to the vendor's tax category and item's tax category. It continues through the hierarchy until it finds a tax determination line that applies to the transaction.

If the Tax Determination function cannot find a tax determination line at the least-specific level, the tax calculation code derivation process is unsuccessful and no tax calculation code appears by default on the Tax page for the transaction.

Setting Up the Organizational Structure

To operate in India, an organization must register with various tax authorities and obtain permits that identify registration numbers. In India, excise duty, sales tax, VAT, and customs duty calculations are determined by the location of the business transaction, the vendor or customer category, exemptions that an organization, vendor, or customer obtains (identified by appropriate license numbers), and the tax rate.

You can define registration data at the organization setup level. You can define, for example, multiple tax locations for each organization and define for each tax location the excise registration's details, registers, document number ranges, and ChartFields. You can also associate multiple business units with a tax location and capture business unit tax applicability.

Note. Organizational structure setup for excise duty, sales tax, VAT, and customs duty is shared unless otherwise specified.

To set up the organizational structure, use the following components:

Organization Details (ORG_RGSTN_DTL).
BU Tax Applicability (ORG_BU_TAX_APPL).
Excise Number Series Document (ORG_DOC_NBR_SER).
Tax Location (ORG_TAX_LOC).

This section discusses how to:

Define organization details.
Define business unit tax applicability.
Define excise number series groups.
Define tax locations.
Define document number ranges.
Define the excise registration details.
Define the excise group details.
Define excise registers.
Define excise account type ChartFields.

Defining Tax Component Codes

Access the Tax Component page (Set Up Financials/Supply Chain, Common Definitions, Excise and Sales Tax/VAT IND, Tax Component).

Tax Component Code

The tax component code that you enter on the prompt page appears. You create tax component codes for each required tax.

Use the Tax Calculation Code page to combine tax component codes of the same tax type.

See Defining Tax Calculation Codes.

Tax Component Details

Tax Type	Select a tax type with which to associate the tax component code. Defining this information filters tax component codes in the Tax Calculation Code table (EXS_TAX_RATE) to ensure that tax calculation code definitions contain only tax component code lines of the same tax type. Values are Excise, ST/VAT (sales tax/VAT) or Custom.
Register Column Sequence	Select the column sequence in which this tax component code should appear in the register. Entering a field value is applicable only if the Tax Type field is set to Excise. Values are: Column 1 - 6: Select the register column in which you want the details of the tax component code to appear in the excise registers. You can specify placement in up to six columns, but use the sixth column for the Others component code. For example, if you have more than six tax component codes, you can combine multiple tax codes within column 6. In this case, column 6 in the excise registers contains the sum of the multiple tax code amounts.
Calculation Scheme	Assign a default calculation scheme to the tax component code. The value that you assign here appears by default on the Tax Calculation Code page, where you can override it. Values are: Amount: Ad hoc amount-based tax calculation. Percentage: Percentage-based tax calculation. This is the default value. Quantity: Quantity-based tax calculation.
Miscellaneous Charge	Assign a nonrecoverable VAT miscellaneous charge code to the selected tax type code. The miscellaneous charge code value that you enter determines the cost element under which nonrecoverable excise duty, sales tax, VAT, and customs duty amounts are accounted for in Inventory and Cost Management. Values are defined on the Misc Charge/Landed Cost Defn (miscellaneous charge/landed cost definition) page. The PeopleSoft Landed Costing feature records the nonrecoverable portion of excise duty by using this charge code. When defining the miscellaneous charge code, enter the VAT Input Non-Recoverable type and select the Prorate and Landed Cost Component options.

Defining Tax Dependency Codes

Access the Tax Dependency Code page (Set Up Financials/Supply Chain, Common Definitions, Excise and Sales Tax/VAT IND, Tax Dependency Code).

Note. After you assign a tax dependency code to a tax calculation code, you cannot make further changes to the tax dependency code definition.

Tax Dependency Code	The tax dependency code that you enter on the prompt page appears. Tax dependency codes indicate the basis for calculating tax, as well as the precedence of taxes of the same tax type that must be included. You assign tax dependency codes to tax calculation codes, enabling tax calculation codes to be calculated accordingly.
Tax Type	The tax type that you enter on the prompt page appears.
Include Base	Select to calculate tax with the base amount included. Leave this option deselected if you want tax calculation to exclude the base amount. For example, leave this option deselected for a surcharge tax component that is calculated based on a preceding tax component rather than on a base amount. This option is selected by default.
Include Freight	Select to include freight as a part of the base value in tax calculation. This option is deselected by default. This setting is applicable only in the procure-to-pay process flow. In the order-to-cash process flow, freight cannot be assigned to sales order or bill lines. If required, freight must be provided on another sales order or bill line. If tax calculation on freight is required, this calculation can be performed in the same way that it is done for normal sales order or bill lines.
Include Miscellaneous Charges	Select to include miscellaneous charge expenses as a part of the base value for tax calculation. This option is deselected by default and is applicable only in the procure-to-pay process flow.

Precedence Details

Tax Component Code

If tax precedence is required, assign as many tax component codes as needed. Only tax component codes of the same tax type can be assigned to a tax dependency code.

Note. The system performs a validation to ensure that tax component codes that are assigned here are included in a tax calculation code definition. The tax component codes must be assigned to a tax calculation code definition so that appropriate tax rates can be derived. This validation is performed each time a tax calculation code is updated and saved.

Defining Tax Calculation Codes

Access the Tax Calculation Code page (Set Up Financials/Supply Chain, Common Definitions, Excise and Sales Tax/VAT IND, Tax Calculation Code).

Tax Rate Code

The tax rate code that you enter on the prompt page appears. Tax calculation codes group tax component codes of the same tax type along with tax rates and other attributes.

Tax rate codes are used in the Tax Determination table to determine the tax rate that is applicable for a combination of various parameters, such as the trading partner (customer/vendor), tax category, item, item tax category, and so forth.

Tax Type

The tax type that you enter on the prompt page appears. A tax calculation code can have only one tax type. Values are:

Excise: This is the default value. Also select for service taxes. When this value is selected, the Service Tax Indicator and Use Assessable Value options become available for entry.

ST/VAT (sales tax/VAT): When this value is selected, the Tax Authority and Tax Form Code fields become available for entry. The Chartfield Detail group box also becomes available for entry.

Custom: When this value is selected, the Customs Information group box becomes available.

Sales Tax / Details

The fields in the Sales Tax/VAT Details group box are relevant only to sales tax and VAT processing and are available for entry when the Tax Type field is set to ST/VAT.

Tax Authority

Select a tax authority. Values are defined on the Sales Tax/VAT Authority page.

See Defining Tax Authority Codes.

Tax Form Code

Select a form code if the tax rate code requires sales tax or VAT form tracking. Values are defined on the Form Code page.

See Defining Sales Tax Form Codes.

Excise Details

The fields in the Excise Details group box are relevant only to excise duty processing and are available for entry when the tax type field is set to Excise Duty. The Use Assessable Value and Service Tax Indicator options are mutually exclusive.

Use Assessable Value

Select to indicate that excise duties should be calculated based on the sale price or the assessable value that is indicated at the item or product kit level. This option is deselected by default.

For shipment of samples, often no sales value is applied to the order. However, excise duty is still payable on the assessable value of the items.

Service Tax Indicator

Select to indicate that the tax rate code is meant for calculation of service taxes. Subsequent processing is done accordingly. This option is deselected by default.

Customs Information

The fields in the Customs Information group box are relevant only to customs duty processing and are available for entry when the tax type is custom. Select a vendor, location, and currency to define the third-party vendor to whom the customs duty is paid, such as a customs authority.

Tax Rate Details

Tax calculation codes must have at least one detail line. Create a detail line for each tax component code that is applicable to the tax calculation code.

Tax Components

Tax Rate Sequence	Indicates the order in which tax component codes in the tax calculation code should be calculated. This line number is system-generated. The system validates the relationship between a sequence number and the precedence that is defined in the Tax Dependency table for each of the tax dependency codes that are associated with the tax components of the tax calculation code.
Tax Component Code	Select a tax component code. Values are defined on the Tax Component page; however, only tax component codes that are associated with the selected Tax Type field value are available for selection.
Tax Dependency Code	Select a tax dependency code. Valid values are defined on the Tax Dependency Code page.
Calculation Scheme	Displays the default calculation scheme that is associated with the selected tax component code. You can override this value. Values are: Amount: Ad hoc amount-based tax calculation. Percentage: Percentage-based tax calculation. This is the default value. Quantity: Quantity-based tax calculation.
Tax Rate Pct (tax rate percentage)	If the Calculation Scheme field value is set to Percentage, enter a percentage that is to be applied against the taxable amount.
Tax Amount	If the Calculation Scheme field value is set to Quantity, enter an amount that is to be applied against the transaction quantity. The amount is applied in the Currency Code value that you enter, according to the transaction quantity in the Unit of Measure value that you enter. Note. If the transaction unit of measure is different from the tax calculation code unit of measure, the system performs the conversion by using the unit of measure conversion feature. If the Calculation Scheme field is set to Amount, enter the actual tax amount. Enter a Currency Code value.
Currency	If the Calculation Scheme field is set to Amount or Quantity, enter a currency code for the tax amount. Values are defined on the Currency Code page.
Unit of Measure	If the Calculation Scheme is set to Quantity, enter a unit of measure against which the tax amount is applied. Values are defined on the Units of Measure page. Note. If the transaction unit of measure is different from the tax rate code unit of measure, the system performs the conversion by using the unit of measure conversion feature.
Recoverable Tax Pct (recoverable tax percentage)	Enter the percentage of the excise tax that is recoverable. The system uses this value to split taxes into recoverable and nonrecoverable components. You can add the nonrecoverable portion to the value of the inventory item by using the PeopleSoft Landed Cost feature. If the Tax Type field value is set to Excise, enter the CENVAT percentage that can be recovered. For example, enter 100 to indicate that the full amount of tax is eligible for CENVAT credit. If the Tax Type field value is set to ST/VAT, enter the setoff percentage for the tax rate code. For example, enter 60 to indicate that 60 percent of the tax amount is recoverable and eligible for set-off. The balance is added to the inventory cost or expensed depending on the treatment that is defined for the item. If the Tax Type field value is set to Custom, enter the CENVAT percentage that can be recovered.

Chartfield Details

Assign separate ChartField values to each available combination of tax authority and tax rate detail line in the Chartfield Details group box. Default ChartField values are supplied from the tax authority that is selected on this page, but you can override them.

Tax Distribution Account Type

Enter a ChartField account type. Values are:

Setoff CF (setoff value ChartField): If this value is selected, the ChartFields reflect the setoff ChartField values that are to be used to account for recoverable setoff amounts in the procure-to-pay process flow.

Tax CF (tax value ChartField): This is the default value. If this value is selected, the ChartFields reflect liability ChartFields that are to be used to account for sales tax in the order-to-cash process flow.

Understanding Customs Duties Foundation

The following customs duties information must be defined in PeopleSoft software to be used in correspondence with customs authorities and other reporting requirements.

To define the customs duty structure:

Enter an import export code and the BIN (business identification number) on the Organization Details page.

For identification purposes, the Director General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) assigns the import export code and the BIN to the organization. The import export code is used for all correspondence with customs authorities for import purchases. For example, this code is required on the Bill of Entry worksheet. The BIN is used for all correspondence with the customs authorities for export purposes. For example, the BIN is required on the shipping documents that are sent to customs clearance.
Identify the harmonized tariff code for each item to be imported or exported.

The tariff codes are used on all documentation that is submitted to the customs authorities for import. Define the harmonized tariff codes that are to be used by the organization by using the Harmonized Tariff Code page. The Customs Tariff Act specifies the customs duty rates based on the tariff code classifications. Then for each item that is imported or exported, attach the identifying harmonized tariff code to the item by using the Item Definition - Inventory: Shipping/Handling page. Each item must be associated with a harmonized tariff code.
Define the identification number for the Bill of Entry worksheets.

To automatically number the Bill of Entry worksheets, define a numbering sequence by using the Auto Numbering page. For the Number Type field, use the Bill of Entry Number option and then enter a numbering sequence.
Define the benefit schemes for customs duties by using the Benefit Scheme page.

All items on an import purchase order and an export sales order need to be identified with a benefit scheme. This information appears by default in the Bill of Entry worksheet and other reports.
For export items that you produce by using imported items, use the Standard Input Output Norm page to identify the quantity of input items that are used.

The standard input output norms (SION) are used in reports and documents that are submitted to the customs authorities to justify the imported items that are consumed in the manufacture of exported items.
