Manage Price Thresholds

In Brazil, the secretariat of the farm specifies the minimum taxable basis for ICMS, known as pauta for specific purposes.

The tax process uses the highest amount between pauta and the sales price for the taxable basis.

In Brazil, the secretariat of the farm specifies the minimum taxable basis for ICMS, known as pauta for specific products. The tax calculation process uses the highest amount between pauta and the sales price for the taxable basis.

Here is an example:

Item Quantity Pauta Amount Sales Price ICMS Taxable
Water Bottle 1 32.00 BRL 28.00 BRL 32.00 BRL
Oil Container 1 45.00 BRL 48.00 BRL 48.00 BRL

If the country associated with the tax regime is Brazil, you can enable the option to specify price threshold information. Configuration can be based on these transaction parameters:

  • Ship-from geography Ship-to geography

  • Product fiscal classification Transaction business category

  • Intended use

To create a taxable basis formula:

  1. Sign in as a Tax Manager.
  2. Click Navigator, Setup and Maintenance.
  3. Search for Manage Tax Formulas.
  4. Click Add.
  5. Click PriceThresholds.
  6. Select the Apply Price Threshold check box.

Price threshold types can be fixed price or minimum or maximum threshold. If the fixed price option is set, then the specified price is used as the item price to derive the taxable basis amount for the transaction line. If the minimum or maximum threshold option is used, then the item price is compared against the given range of values and the appropriate value is used if the given range is above. You can define the taxable basis formula with these attributes.

Tax Determination Process

The tax determination process compares the unit price with the threshold values to calculate a specific taxable basis amount.

Line Item Taxable Basis Amount Comments
1 Water Bottle 32.00

The unit price quoted on the transaction line is 28 BRL, but the minimum threshold value is set to 32 BRL. The minimum threshold value is applied as the taxable basis amount.

2 Oil Container 48.00 The unit price quoted on the transaction line is 48 BRL more than minimum threshold value 45 BRL. The maximum threshold value is blank, so the unit price is applied as the taxable basis amount.
80.00 BRL ICMS total taxable basis amount.
