Understanding VAT Recoverability for Brazil

You can use the VAT Recoverable Setup program (P76B004) to set up and use VAT recoverability for the taxes introduced as part of the Brazil tax reform, and store them in the VAT Recoverable Setup table (F76B004). VAT recoverability applies to purchase cycle transactions and enables the system to calculate and account the recoverable amounts for eligible taxes based on setup values. When you run the Purchase Tax Interface program (P76TX002), the system calculates the recoverable amounts, and stores them in the Tax Calculation Amounts table (F76TX002).

Under the current Brazil tax system, the recoverability of VAT applies to CBS, IBS State, and IBS City taxes.

During the purchase tax interface processing, the system calculates the VAT recoverable amount by applying the configured recoverable percentage to the applicable tax amount. The system updates F76TX002 with tax amount, VAT type, recoverable amount, and recoverable GL class code. For purchase return transactions, the system writes recoverable entries based on the configured VAT recoverability setup and accounting mappings.

While closing the Nota Fiscal, the system retrieves the VAT tax and recoverable values from F76TX002, and generates recoverable receipt lines along with their corresponding accounting entries. The process updates the Purchase Order Receipt (F43121), Item Ledger (F4111), and Account Ledger (F0911) tables. The system uses the configured GL class and DMAAI mappings for account derivation.

Note: The VAT recoverability process applies to procurement and purchase return processes. General sales recoverability is currently out of scope.
