2564531 - You Create a GST Return for Australia And A Taxable Invoice Is Not Picked For The VAT As Expected

Symptom

You create a GST Return XXX for Australia and a taxable invoice is not picked for the VAT as expected.

XXX means the GST Return ID.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to the Tax Management work center.
  2. Go to the GST Returns view.
  3. Select Tax Return ID XXX.
  4. Click Run ID YYY (YYY means the Tax Return Run ID).
  5. Go to the Tax Return tab.
  6. Click Details.

The Invoice you expected to be picked for this Tax Return is not 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 we will use Tax Event 10 - GST Non-Capital Purchase and Tax Return Type XYZ (XYZ means a Tax Return Type used as an example here).

You can see the Tax Return Type being used on the GST Tax Return following these steps:

  1. Go to the Tax Management work center.
  2. Go to the GST Returns view.
  3. Select Tax Return ID XXX.
  4. Click Run ID YYY.

Under area Tax Return Details you can see Tax Return Type: 999 - Tax Return.

You can check the mapped Tax Return Types using below steps:

  1. Go to Business Configuration work center.
  2. Go to the Implementation Projects subview.
  3. Click Open Activity List.
  4. Show All Activities.
  5. Find Tax Returns for Goods and Services - Australia.
  6. Click Goods and Service Tax Return Australia.
  7. Select Tax Return Type XYZ.
  8. Click under tab Tax Event.

Here you will find the list of Tax Events linked to this Tax Return Type that will include (following our 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:

  1. Go to the Tax Management work center.
  2. Go to the Tax Authorities view.
  3. Go to the Tax Authorities subview.
  4. Select Tax Authority ID ABC (ABC means the Tax Authority ID).
  5. Click Edit - Company Tax Arrangements.
  6. Select the company in use.
  7. Go to the Tax Return Arrangements sub-tab.
  8. Edit Tax Return Type.
  9. Click Save.

Now when creating GST Tax Return it will use Tax Return Type XYZ.
