Enter Supplier Tax Withholding Lines

Explanation

Use this activity to enter tax lines for tax withholdings on payments to the specified supplier. In the United States, this is known as Form 1099 income tax withholding.

Withheld tax amount is always calculated with the net amount of the invoice line as base.

Prerequisites

This activity requires that:

• A supplier and company exist.
• At least one tax code with the Tax Withhold tax type be entered in the Accounting Rules/Tax/Tax Codes window if tax withholding lines should be created automatically for each invoice line.
• The Supplement Tax Withholding check box be selected if taxes are to be withheld separately for federal and state purposes on invoice lines.
• The appropriate supplier income types be defined in the Enterprise/Tax/Income Types window.
• A supplier income type has been defined for the actual invoice line.

System Effects

As a result of this activity, taxes are withheld as specified on each invoice line, when the invoice is posted. Right after the invoice is posted to a voucher of function group I, a withholding payment transaction will be started automatically, provided that IFS/Payment is installed. The postings connected to this payment transaction are created on a voucher belonging to function group U.
