Understanding VAT Defaults Setup

By providing common components for establishing VAT defaults for all installed applications that process VAT transactions, PeopleSoft software provides the tax expert in your organization the ability to see and access all VAT default setup from a shared menu. In addition, this same default setup can be accessed from the various application pages.

Note: Generate the VAT 3000 report after setting up defaults to validate VAT default setup data and to expose any inconsistencies and missing default values.

VAT Defaults

VAT defaults may be defined for many VAT drivers, and these VAT drivers make up all the levels of the defaults hierarchy. Common default records are used to store the hierarchical default data in such a way as to make retrieval of the appropriate defaults efficient. For example, a VAT default specified for an item, expense type, or product should be used before a default for a category or product group. Furthermore, within each VAT driver defaults specified by country and state are more specific and come before defaults by country only, which in turn are more specific and come before defaults for which both the country and state are blank.

You can establish VAT settings for all applicable VAT drivers using the VAT Defaults Setup component. You access the component by first selecting a VAT driver. The drivers available to you are based on the applications installed. A sub-search page appears on which you can enter more specific search criteria or driver keys. Clicking the search button accesses the VAT Defaults Setup page. The default VAT data that appears is determined by the combination of the VAT driver and VAT driver keys. You then enter the required defaults and any optional defaults as needed and save the changes.

Service VAT Treatment Defaults

If you need to establish default values for the additional VAT treatment determinants specific for services, you can do this using the Services VAT Treatment Defaults Setup component. Like the VAT Defaults setup component, this component uses VAT drivers to provide the default values at various levels of the hierarchy. For any applicable driver, you can define the place of supply of the service or the place where the VAT is liable, whether it is the supplier's countries, the customer's countries, or the place where the service is actually performed depending on the type of service. You can also specify whether the service is freight transport or other.

Selecting or deselecting the Reverse Charge Goods check box and then clicking the Adjust button adjusts the VAT Treatment, Record Output VAT, and other related defaults.

You can override default VAT settings on individual transactions from the applicable PeopleSoft application pages. For example, you can override VAT settings for a voucher line by accessing the Invoice Line VAT Information page from the Voucher component. While the fields that appear on this page may vary based on the application, the page acts in much the same way.

Note: The VAT defaults appear in descending order of effect. If you change any settings on this page, you should work from the top of the page to the bottom, clicking the Adjust Affected VAT Defaults button as appropriate.

Expand All Sections

Click to expand all the VAT default sections on the page. The sections are collapsed by default.

Collapse All Sections

Click to collapse all the VAT default sections on the page.

Adjust/Reset VAT Defaults

A section at the bottom of the page enables you to adjust the VAT defaults based on changes you make on this page or to reset all VAT defaults.

Adjust Affected VAT Defaults

Click this button to retain certain changes to VAT defaults while adjusting other VAT defaults affected by the changes. The changes retained depend on the changes you have made as described subsequently. Two examples are provided at the end of this section.

Reset All VAT Defaults

Click this button to reset all the VAT defaults. You can reset the defaults at This and all lower levels in the transaction hierarchy, All lower levels only, or This level only.

Transaction hierarchy can vary. For example, if you are dealing with the voucher header VAT page, all lower levels refers to the voucher lines and the distribution lines. However, if you are on the voucher line VAT page, all lower levels refers to the distribution lines.

Physical Nature

Indicates whether an object is a good or a service. For many countries, a requirement exists to report the sale or purchase of goods, or both, separately from services.

Change Physical Nature

Click to override the default physical nature. This changes the value of the physical nature which determines the VAT treatment and resets all the VAT defaults at this level.

VAT Locations

The VAT location fields are populated by the applications. Values in these fields are never affected by changes to any of the VAT default fields and are never updated when you click the Change Physical Nature, Adjust Affected VAT Defaults, or Reset All VAT Defaults button. The possible VAT locations are:

Bank Country
Buyer's Location Country
Buyer's Location State
Consumption Country
Consumption State

Seller's Location Country
Seller's Location State

VAT Registrations

The fields for VAT registration defaults include:

Reporting Country
Default State
Bank, Customer, or Supplier Registration Country
Bank, Customer, or Supplier Registration ID
Exception Type
Exception Certificate ID

Any changes that you make to these values with the exception of the exception type and exception certificate ID affect all VAT default settings if you click the Adjust Affected VAT Defaults button after making changes.

If you change the exception type, only the VAT transaction type and VAT code defaults are adjusted when you click the Adjust Affected VAT Defaults button.

VAT Controls

If you change the default setting in the Calc on Advance Payments field or the Domestic Reverse Charge Goods check box, and click the Adjust Affected VAT Defaults button, the system updates all VAT default settings.

Changes to any other VAT control fields do not affect other VAT defaults. Also, if you change any of the following fields and click the Adjust Affected VAT Defaults button, your changes will be lost if you have also changed fields that affect the VAT control fields:

Calculate at Gross or Net
Recalculate at Payment.
Calculation Type
Declaration Point
Declaration Date

Rounding Rule
Non-Recovery Charge
Use Type
Apportionment Control

No VAT Receipt
Prorate Non-Recoverable
Allocate Non-Recoverable

VAT Treatments

Place of Supply Country

If the transaction is for a service, these fields show the place of supply (the place where VAT liability occurs) country and state for the service. This value is used to help determine the VAT treatment.

If you change these settings and click the Adjust Affected VAT Defaults button, the system changes all VAT default settings.

Treatment

If you change this value and click the Adjust Affected VAT Defaults button, the system updates only the VAT transaction type and VAT code, Record Input VAT, and Record Output VAT, where applicable.

Treatment Group

This field is available on the voucher header, AR pending item, and Billing invoice header VAT pages. It is also tracked on purchase orders, sales orders, and asset retirements so that the value can be copied to vouchers and bills, but it is not shown on the VAT pages.

For the transactions in which treatment group is shown on the header VAT page, the VAT treatment values on all the lines for a given transaction must be members of the treatment group on the header. Clicking the Adjust Affected VAT Defaults button after making a change to the treatment group does not update any other VAT defaults. The main impact of changing the value is on the validation of the VAT treatment on the lines. In addition, changing the treatment group on the header does not affect or change the value of the treatment on the lines.

Examples

These examples illustrate the behavior of the VAT defaults:

Example 1

The user overrides the Calculate at Gross or Net field and clicks the Adjust Affected VAT Defaults button. The system does nothing, because Calculate at Gross or Net is a VAT control field that does not affect any other VAT defaults. The user then overrides the supplier registration country and clicks the Adjust Affected VAT Defaults button once more. This time the system adjusts all the VAT defaults except the change to the supplier registration country. This includes the Calculate at Gross or Net field, which the user must override again, if necessary.
Example 2

The user overrides the supplier registration country and clicks the Adjust Affected VAT Defaults button. The system adjusts all VAT defaults except the change to the supplier registration country and supplier registration ID. The user then overrides the place of supply settings and clicks the Adjust Affected VAT Defaults button once more. The system adjusts all VAT defaults except the service type, place of supply, supplier registration country, and supplier registration ID.
