Withholding Tax Certificates and Exceptions

Withholding tax certificates specify withholding tax rate exceptions that are granted by a tax authority. You can define withholding tax rate exceptions for all invoices of a supplier site or for specific invoices of that site. A tax can have one or more certificates.

Before defining withholding tax certificates and exceptions, you must:

  • Enable the Apply Withholding option.

  • Create withholding tax codes.

  • Enter withholding details for suppliers.

Certificates

To define a withholding certificate, you must specify a certificate number, type, priority, and rate for a tax regime and tax.

A certificate number can be user-defined or it can be a number assigned to a certificate issued to a supplier by the tax authority.

Oracle Fusion Payables predefines a certificate type of Standard. You can define additional certificate types on the Manage Tax Lookup Codes page.

Only one certificate can be enforced at a time. If you have one or more certificates for the same tax regime and tax and the date ranges overlap, Oracle Fusion Tax applies the certificate with the highest priority, where 1 is the highest priority. If a certificate specifies that the supplier site is exempt from the tax regime and tax, then enter 0 as the tax rate.

Note: The tax rate for a withholding certificate overrides all rates for the withholding tax.

Exceptions

To define an exception for an invoice, specify the invoice number and rate for a tax regime and tax.

Note: The tax rate for an exception overrides all rates for the withholding tax.
