TAXDETERMINATIONDATE
Tax Date (Date for Determining Tax Rates) determines the date for calculating TDT time-dependent tax (depending on customizing settings in the company code) either from the posting date or from the document date.
In the excel the technical name is TAXDETERMINATIONDATE, the description is 'Date for Determining Tax Rates'.
The error message 'Tax calculation date must be filled' (FOT_TDT004) also relates to the missing tax determination date in the template.
TAXREPORTINGDATE
The tax reporting date is the date on which taxes must be reported to the tax authority. The tax reporting date can be identical to the posting date or the document date. You can also define your own rules to determine the date. This date is never earlier than the tax fulfillment date.
TAXFULFILLMENTDATE
The date on which the tax becomes chargeable, for example, the date on which goods or services are supplied. It is country dependent
Configuration Activities:
You use these configuration activities to define and edit the tax reporting date:
- Assign Company Code to Document Date for Tax Determination (106259) to define the document date as the basis for the tax determination
- Edit Tax Information for Company Codes (105675) to activate the tax reporting date, and to define the exchange rate determination
Additional information:
'Date for Determining Tax Rate' field: The value was used to calculate the tax rate in terms of time dependent tax. TDT could be activated based on the company code. If it is activated, the tax date value is mandatory for creating a draft supplier invoice. If TDT is not activated for another company codes, the fields is optional. The field is not marked as required field because the status is based on the TDT setting.
'Tax rate Valid-From' field: During tax code creation (TDT is enabled and active) validity of the tax rate needs to be defined. The same tax code filled in different time period, the tax rate may be different (it is not the tax determination date!).
