Symptom
You executed the Tax Return Run for Tax Return Type - Summary Register.
Now, you are previewing the Tax Return and you observe the Credit from Previous Year field shows - 0,00 amount.
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to the Tax Management work center.
- Go to the Tax Returns view.
- Select the VAT Returns subview.
- Show All Tax Returns.
- Search for the Tax Return Type - Summary Register.
- Select the button Preview.
In the preview document, you see the Credit from Previous Years is 0,00.
Cause
Two possible reasons are:
- You have not selected the option - Carry Forward in the Tax Return Arrangements.
- You executed the Tax Return Run first time for Tax Return Type - Summary Register. As there is no previous year Tax Return, the system shows 0,00 amount in Credit from Previous Year field.
Some country/regions allow to manually edit this field, as for example Italy.
Resolution
This is the normal system behavior.
To select the option - Carry Forward please follow the below steps:
-
Go to the Tax Management work center.
- Access View Tax Authority.
- Select the Tax Authority and Edit it.
- Go to the Company Tax Arrangements tab.
- Go to the Tax Return Arrangements tab.
- Under Details, select the option - Carry Forward.
- Click Save.
Once you select the option - Carry Forward, then system will automatically pick up the Credit amount from the previous year Tax Return and display in the current year Tax Return.
NOTE: At the moment SAP Business ByDesign system do not allow user to enter the amount manually in the Credit from Previous Year field. This is legally not allowed.
