Setting Up Oracle Fusion Tax

The Define Taxes for Rapid Implementation task list provides the required and most frequently used setup tasks for implementation scenarios. Using spreadsheets, you can upload your tax setups to create tax regimes, taxes, tax rates, and tax rules.

You can use the standard Define Tax Configuration task list for:

  • The ongoing maintenance of your tax setup.

  • Limited tax configurations that can't be set up or updated using the rapid implementation approach.

To set up Oracle Fusion Tax, the Application Implementation Consultant or Tax Manager must perform the following tasks:

  1. Manage tax regimes.

    • Perform the Manage Tax Regimes task to create and maintain tax regimes for the taxes in each country and geographic region where a separate tax or collection of taxes apply.

      You can use the Tax Configuration Workbook to upload all common tax regime setups as well as your organization specific setups, such as tax regime subscriptions.

      You can also use the individual Tax Regimes and Tax Regime Subscriptions spreadsheets to exclusively create tax regimes and tax regime subscriptions.
