Tax Dates for Vouchers

To declare the VAT that appears on posted and unposted voucher in the appropriate VAT period, you might need to change the tax liability date for the vouchers. Many situations might require you to process vouchers in one period and report the VAT in another period. Changing the tax liability date to the date in the appropriate VAT reporting period assures that the VAT is correctly reported.

You can change the tax liability date only for vouchers for which the document (voucher) type is set up as a voucher that allows changes to this date. To enable changes to the tax liability date for a voucher type:

  • Set up voucher types in the Document Type (00/DT) UDC table.

  • Use the Set Up AP Document Types program (P74P4010) to specify whether the system enables changes to the tax liability date of vouchers that are assigned a specific voucher type.

    See Setting Up Voucher Types.

  • Assign the specific voucher types to vouchers for which you need the ability to change the tax liability date.
