For tax scenarios with more particularities, the SuiteTax Latam Engine provides the plug-in implementation with additional properties that the plug-in can use to calculate tax amounts:
-
Amount and net amount - The SuiteTax Latam Engine provides the plug-in implementation with both the amount and net amount of each line item. The net amount considers the discounts applied to items or the entire transaction.
The plug-in implementation can use either the amount or net amount to comply with tax regulations.
-
Shipping and handling costs - If shipping or handling costs apply to the transaction, the SuiteApp provides the plug-in implementation with their total and proportional amounts. To obtain the proportional amount, NetSuite divides the individual amount of each line item by the sum of all the items. Then, the system multiplies it by the total shipping or handling amounts.
By default, the SuiteTax Latam Engine doesn't consider shipping and handling costs in the tax determination process. Shipping and handling items don't appear as line items in the Tax Details subtab.
-
Additional tax information - If you map transaction fields as additional tax information, the SuiteApp provides the plug-in with the information contained in the transaction fields.
The plug-in must be prepared to handle the additional tax information properly. For more information about mapping, see Creating Tax Information Mapping Records.
