Resolution
In case the supplier invoice tax amount is correct which means that no Surcharge / EC / SHEC on Income Tax is expected (only Withholding Income Tax), then the Tax Code should be mapped to a Tax Event that is only assigned to the tax type 'Withholding Income Tax'.
- Go to the Business Configuration work center.
- Go to the Implementation Projects view.
- Choose a current project (alternatively, create a new one).
- Choose Open Activity List and then go to Fine-Tune.
- Open the activity Withholding Tax - India.
- Select the relevant Tax Code.
- Select a Tax Event for it that does not have Surcharge, EC and SHEC.
- Choose Save.
