Cause

Withholding tax is due if the following conditions are all true:

  • The buyer (buying company) is obligated by law to withhold 
  • The supplier is subject to withholding
  • The product is relevant for withholding

As a consequence, the following master data objects carry attributes that are specific to withholding tax:

  • Company Tax Arrangement
  • Supplier
  • Product

In the Service master, Withholding Tax Classification details is not defined and hence the error message occurs.

Resolution

You have to maintain the Withholding Tax Classification details in the Service master. Later system will calculate the withholding tax code properly in the new invoice document.
