Symptom
Invoices and payments issued to foreign suppliers exempt from withholding tax under Double Taxation Agreements (DTAA) are not appearing in Form 30.
Environment
-
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
-
Configure suppliers in the system without assigning any withholding tax type or code.
-
Post supplier invoices and payments for these business partners.
-
Execute Form 30 for the relevant company code and reporting period.
-
Observe that transactions related to exempt foreign suppliers are not included in the generated Form 30 output file.
Cause
- In standard SAP behavior, the Form 30 report includes only those transactions that contain withholding tax information.
- Since the foreign suppliers were not configured with any withholding tax type or code, the corresponding invoices and payments were excluded from the Form 30 output.
Resolution
To include DTAA-exempt supplier transactions in Form 30, follow the steps below:
-
Create a Withholding Tax Type specifically for suppliers exempt under the Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) and set the tax rate to 0%.
-
Assign the Withholding Tax Type to all relevant foreign supplier master records.
-
Maintain exemption details such as the reason for exemption etc., in the supplier master data.
-
Post supplier invoices ensuring that the newly created 0% Withholding Tax Type is applied during posting.
-
Execute the Form 30 report and verify that the exempt supplier transactions are now included in the generated output.
