Symptom
A GST Return XXX is created for Australia, and a taxable invoice is not picked up for VAT as expected.
(XXX represents the GST Return ID)
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to the Tax Management work center.
- Go to the GST Returns view.
- Select Tax Return ID XXX.
- Click Run ID YYY (YYY represents the Tax Return Run ID).
- Go to the Tax Return tab.
- Click Details.
The invoice expected to be picked up for this tax return is not included in the list.
Cause
The Tax Return ID XXX has Tax Return Type set as 999, which is a generic return type.
The Return Type 999 picks all the Tax Events which are not mapped to any other Tax Return Type and the Invoice Tax Event is mapped to different Tax Return Type.
As an example, use Tax Event 10 - GST Non-Capital Purchase and Tax Return Type XYZ (where XYZ is used as an example Tax Return Type).
The Tax Return Type used on the GST Tax Return can be viewed by following these steps:
- Go to the Tax Management work center.
- Go to the GST Returns view.
- Select Tax Return ID XXX.
- Click Run ID YYY.
Under area Tax Return Details you can see Tax Return Type: 999 - Tax Return.
The mapped Tax Return Types can be checked using the steps below:
- Go to Business Configuration work center.
- Go to the Implementation Projects subview.
- Click Open Activity List.
- Show All Activities.
- Find Tax Returns for Goods and Services - Australia.
- Click Goods and Service Tax Return Australia.
- Select Tax Return Type XYZ.
- Click under tab Tax Event.
The list of Tax Events linked to this Tax Return Type can be found here, including, in this example, Tax Event 10 - GST Non-Capital Purchase.
Resolution
To change the Tax Return Arrangement to the Tax Return Type XYZ, please follow below steps:
- Go to the Tax Management work center.
- Go to the Tax Authorities view.
- Go to the Tax Authorities subview.
- Select Tax Authority ID ABC (ABC means the Tax Authority ID).
- Click Edit - Company Tax Arrangements.
- Select the company in use.
- Go to the Tax Return Arrangements sub-tab.
- Edit Tax Return Type.
- Click Save.
Now when creating GST Tax Return it will use Tax Return Type XYZ.
