Understanding Methods of Releasing Suspended VAT

When you run the General Ledger Post program (R09801) for Russian vouchers, a Russian localization writes suspended VAT amounts to the Tax on Hold table (F74R410). Before you process suspended VAT, you set up the system so that the General Ledger Post program can determine whether to:

  • Automatically release the suspended VAT to the Actual VAT account.

    When suspended VAT is automatically released, they system writes a record to the F74R410 table to show the amount being released, and writes a record to the Tax Released table (F74R420) to show the released amount.

    See Automatically Releasing Suspended VAT.

  • Leave the suspended VAT amount in the suspense account until you use the Suspended VAT - Manual Release program (P74R4010) to release the VAT to the Actual VAT account or to a profit and loss account.

    When you manually release suspended VAT amounts, the system writes a record to the F74R410 table to show the amount that you manually release, and writes a record to the F74R420 table to show the amount that was released.
