Jurisdiction and Tax - Taxware calculates tax based on all jurisdiction information, including ship-to, ship-from, point of order origin (POO), and point of order acceptance (POA). eBTax Taxware: Use Nexpro The eBTax Taxware: Use Nexpro profile option indicates whether Taxware uses the Nexpro functionality. If you enable this option, additional configuration is required on the Taxware side of the integration to achieve nexus-based taxation. The Taxware API parameter that accepts this value is TaxLink.UseNexproInd. See: Technical Reference, Oracle E-Business Tax: Vertex Q-Series and Taxware Sales/Use Tax System Implementation Guide for information about the Nexpro functionality. eBTax Vertex: Case Sensitive the eBTax Vertex: Case Sensitive profile option enables case-sensitive searches of Vertex tax calculation data. The default value is Yes. Set this profile option if you intend to use Vertex to calculate tax on transactions. Setting Up Lookup Codes Use the Application Object Library Lookups window to maintain existing lookup codes and define additional lookup codes for E-Business Tax lookup types. Note: E-Business Tax does not perform validation on updated or disabled lookups. If you want to disable, update, or apply an end date to an E-Business Tax lookup type, please ensure that the applicable values are not in use in the E-Business Tax setup. ZX_INPUT_CLASSIFICATIONS and ZX_OUTPUT_CLASSIFICATIONS Use the ZX_INPUT_CLASSIFICATIONS and ZX_OUTPUT_CLASSIFICATIONS lookup types to create tax classification codes for use in tax determination. Release 11i tax codes and tax groups migrate to E-Business Tax as tax classification codes. Payables and Purchasing tax codes migrate as tax classification codes under ZX_INPUT_CLASSIFICATIONS. Receivables and Projects tax codes migrate as tax classification codes under ZX_OUTPUT_CLASSIFICATIONS. You can set up additional tax classification codes for use with a migrated tax data model or as an additional determining factor in tax determination. ZX_WEB_EXP_TAX_CLASSIFICATIONS Use the ZX_WEB_EXP_TAX_CLASSIFICATIONS lookup type to create tax classification codes for use in tax determination for transactions originating from Internet Expenses. ZX_EXEMPTION_REASON_CODE Use the ZX_EXEMPTION_REASON_CODE lookup to create exemption reason lookup code for use in tax exemptions. The exemption reason is a user-defined code that lets you monitor the use of customer or product tax exemptions issued by the tax authority and applied to specific transactions. When you set up a tax exemption, you can use the exemption reason to identify the reason for this exemption or to monitor a customer's application for an exemption. At transaction time, E-Business Tax only considers certain tax exemptions if the exemption reason and certificate number entered on the transaction line match the exemption definition. ZX_JEBE_VAT_TRANS_TYPE Use the ZX_JEBE_VAT_TRANS_TYPE lookup type to create tax transaction types for use with tax rate codes. You use transaction types when you set up a tax rate. Tax rate transaction types represent local tax authority codes both for reporting purposes and for controlling which rates appear on an invoice. See: Setting Up Tax Rates, Oracle E-Business Tax User Guide for more information. ZX_REGISTRATIONS_REASON Use the ZX_REGISTRATIONS_REASON lookup type to create tax registration reason codes. You use registration reason codes when you set up a tax registration to represent the reason for the tax registration. The tax registration reason code is for tax reporting purposes only. See: Setting Up a Tax Registration, Oracle E-Business Tax User Guide for more information. ZX_REGISTRATIONS_TYPE Use the ZX_REGISTRATIONS_TYPE lookup type to create tax registration type codes. You use tax registration type codes when you set up a tax registration to organize your tax registrations into categories. E-Business Tax provides these seeded tax registration types: CNPJ; CPF; CUIL; CUIT; DNI; NIT; OTHERS; VAT. The tax registration types CPF, CNPJ, and OTHERS are used in tax registration number validation for Brazil. All other seeded tax registration types, and the tax registration types that you define, are for tax reporting purposes only. See: Setting Up a Tax Registration, Oracle E-Business Tax User Guide for more information. ZX_REGISTRATION_STATUS Use the ZX_REGISTRATION_STATUS lookup type to create tax registration status codes. You use tax registration status codes as determining factors in tax rules. E-Business Tax provides these seeded tax registration types: Lookup Code Description Agent The company acts as a withholding agent for the tax authority for the applicable tax. Registered The company is registered for the applicable tax. Not Registered The company is not registered for the applicable tax. See: Setting Up Tax Rules, Oracle E-Business Tax User Guide for more information. ZX_TAX_TYPE_CATEGORY Use the ZX_TAX_TYPE_CATEGORY lookup type to create tax types. You use tax types when you set up a tax. You can use tax types to classifies taxes for tax reporting purposes. See: Setting Up Taxes, Oracle E-Business Tax User Guide for more information. The ZX_TAX_TYPE_CATEGORY lookup type contained these seeded tax types: Lookup Code Description Sales Direct taxes that are collected from the consumer by the supplier and paid to the tax authority. VAT Value added or cascading taxes. Excise Taxes on the production and manufacture of goods. Customs Duty Taxes charged on imported and exported products. Environmental Taxes charged as a result of environmental regulations. Setting Up TCA Geography Hierarchy Set up and maintain the TCA geography hierarchy for each country where you have a tax requirement. The TCA geography hierarchy provides a single reference source for all geographical and location-based information for all E-Business Suite applications. You use the TCA geography hierarchy in these cases: Taxes that are levied at a level lower than the country level, for example, state or provincial taxes. Tax characteristics, such as the tax rate, vary at a lower level than the country level. You must set up and maintain the TCA geography hierarchy before you can perform these tax-related setups: Legal entities and establishments - Enter and maintain location information for first party legal entities and the first party legal establishments. See: Setting Up Legal Entity for more information. Tax zones - Set up tax zones to represent regions according to a tax requirement. Tax zones let you group together regions otherwise separated by geographical or political boundaries where a tax treatment is identical throughout these regions. See: Setting Up Tax Zones, Oracle E-Business Tax User Guide for more information. Tax regimes - Set up tax regimes for a country or tax zone. See: Setting Up Tax Regimes, Oracle E-Business Tax User Guide for more information. Taxes - Set up taxes and specify the geographical level where each tax applies, such as a city tax or a county tax. See: Setting Up Taxes, Oracle E-Business Tax User Guide for more information. Tax jurisdictions - Set up tax jurisdictions for a tax using geographies or tax zones. See: Setting Up Tax Jurisdictions, Oracle E-Business Tax User Guide for more information. Tax rules - Use the Geography determining factor class to set up determining factor sets that use geographical locations in tax rules. Use the User Defined Geography determining factor class to set up determining factor sets that use tax zones in tax rules. See: Setting Up Tax Determining Factor Sets, Oracle E-Business Tax User Guide for more information. Use TCA administration to maintain these aspects of the geography hierarchy: Country structure - Set up and maintain the hierarchical structure of a country. The structure begins with the largest geography type and ends with the smallest geography type. For example, the United States structure is: State > County > City > Postal Code. Geography types - TCA provides seeded geography types for certain countries. The geography types are used to create the geographical hierarchy of a country. Perform these tasks for geography types: If necessary, set up new geography types in accordance with the structure of a country. Set up and maintain aliases for specific Geography elements. An alias is an alternative name for a geography type. You can use aliases as a part of your address validation. Define the contents of a geography type within the context of a country structure, for example, the states belonging to the United States or the provinces belonging to Canada. Address validations - Set up mappings and validations between country address formats and the TCA geography hierarchy. TCA uses the definitions you provide to validate an address entry against the geography hierarchy. You use address validation for taxes levied below the country level to verify that it is a valid address for tax purposes. For example, set up a list of Canadian provinces to verify each applicable address against a valid province for the correct handling of Canadian PST. Enable both the Geography Validation and Tax Validation options for each level for which you need to create tax jurisdictions.

First party legal establishments - The legal establishments that have or require tax registrations, either implied or explicit, from one or more tax authorities. Legal authorities - The legal authorities that represent the tax authorities in the tax regimes where you do business. When you set up a legal entity or establishment, you can also set up party tax profile details, including general information, rounding rule, and tax registrations. See: Party Tax Profiles in Oracle E-Business Tax, Oracle E-Business Tax User Guide for more information. If you set up country default controls for the countries where you do business, then the applicable tax regime and tax values default to the legal establishment tax registration record. See: Setting Up Country Default Controls, Oracle E-Business Tax User Guide for more information. Setting Up Legal Entities Set up the legal entities that represent your company. You must set up your company as a legal entity before you can perform these tax-related setups: Party tax profiles - Party tax profiles contain the information that relates to a party's transaction tax activities, and identify the legal entity to the tax authorities. See: Setting Up a First Party Tax Profile, Oracle E-Business Tax User Guide for more information. Configuration options - Configuration options indicate the tax regimes to which the legal entity is subject. For each tax regime/legal entity assignment, the configuration option also defines the way in which the legal entity uses tax configuration data for the regime. See: Setting Up Configuration Options, Oracle E-Business Tax User Guide for more information. Configuration owner tax options - Configuration owner tax options let you set specific transaction tax processing and control options for a combination of configuration owner and application event class. See: Setting Up Configuration Owner Tax Options, Oracle E-Business Tax User Guide for more information. When you set up legal entities for your company, set the Transacting Entity option to Yes. See: Creating a Legal Entity, Oracle Financials Implementation Guide for more information. After you set up legal entities, set up the legal establishments that belong to the legal entity. Setting Up First Party Legal Establishments Set up a legal establishment record for each office, service center, warehouse and any other location within the company that requires a registration with a tax authority for one or more taxes. You set up legal establishments under a parent legal entity. When you set up legal establishments, you can also perform these tax-related setups: Party tax profiles - Set up a party tax profile for each legal establishment. You can set up certain details of the party tax profile when you create the legal establishment. See: Setting Up a First Party Tax Profile, Oracle E-Business Tax User Guide for more information. Tax registrations - Set up tax registrations for each legal establishment. Depending on the applicable tax requirements, you may need to set up more than tax registration for an establishment. You must complete additional setup in E-Business Tax to set up a tax registration. See: Setting Up a Tax Registration, Oracle E-Business Tax User Guide for more information. Use the Associate Business Entities region to link a tax-related business entity to a legal establishment. See: Creating Establishments, Oracle Financials Implementation Guide for more information. Setting Up Legal Authorities Set up a legal authority record for each tax authority that administers taxes in a tax regime where you do business. While not mandatory, you can set up legal authority records before you perform these tax-related setups: Tax authority tax profile - Set up tax authority tax profiles for your collecting, reporting, and issuing tax authorities. A collecting tax authority manages the administration of tax remittances. A reporting tax authority receives and processes all company transaction tax reports. An issuing tax authority issues tax registration numbers and tax exemption certificates. See: Setting Up a Tax Authority Tax Profile, Oracle E-Business Tax User Guide for more information. Basic tax configuration - The collecting and reporting tax authorities appear in the corresponding list of values on these tax configuration setups: Tax regimes Taxes Tax jurisdictions Tax registrations - Enter the tax authority responsible for issuing the legal establishment tax registration number. Update the collecting and reporting tax authorities that default from the tax jurisdiction record. See: Setting Up a Tax Registration, Oracle E-Business Tax User Guide for more information. Tax exemptions - Enter the tax authority that issues the tax exemption certificate. See: Setting Up Tax Exemptions, Oracle E-Business Tax User Guide for more information. When you set up a legal authority, set the Legislative Category to Transaction Tax. See: Creating and Updating Legal Authorities, Oracle Financials Implementation Guide for more information. Applying End Dates to Legal Entities If you apply an end date to a legal entity or legal establishment, you must manually apply the same end date to any related E-Business Tax entities that refer to the legal entity or establishment. Legal entities - Apply an end date to the related tax reporting types, party classifications, and configuration options. Legal establishments - Apply an end date to the related tax reporting types, party classifications, and tax registrations. Setting Up Operating Units Set up the operating units that you need to process your tax transactions. An operating unit is an organization that uses Oracle Cash Management, Order Management and Shipping Execution, Oracle Payables, Oracle Purchasing, or Oracle Receivables. For tax-related transactions: Assign users to responsibilities associated with the operating units for the applicable applications. Assign user to an E-Business Tax responsibility. See: Setting Up Tax Users for more information. Assign operating units to the applicable primary ledgers. See: Setting Up Accounts and Accounting Information. You must set up and maintain operating units before you can perform these tax-related setups: Party tax profiles - Set up a tax profile for each operating unit. The tax profile indicates that the operating unit either uses the tax configuration of the legal entity for transactions involving the legal entity and tax regime, or acts as a configuration owner for the applicable tax regime. See: Setting Up an Operating Unit Tax Profile, Oracle E-Business Tax User Guide for more information. Tax configuration options - Set up configuration options for applicable operating units when you set up a tax regime or a party tax profile. The configuration option associates the operating unit with tax regimes either to share the tax setup of the global configuration owner or to act as a configuration owner and maintain a separate tax setup. See: Configuration Options in Oracle E-Business Tax, Oracle E-Business Tax User Guide for more information. Tax accounts - You can set up tax accounts for a single operating unit, or you can share tax accounts across multiple operating units. The accounting segments associated with the selected operating units are available for tax account purposes. The calculated tax amounts post to the operating unit accounts that you define. See: Setting Up Tax Accounts, Oracle E-Business Tax User Guide for more information. Configuration owner tax options - Set up configuration owner tax options for a combination of operating unit configuration owner and application event class. The configuration owner tax option settings let you modify the manner in which tax data is configured. See: Setting Up Configuration Owner Tax Options, Oracle E-Business Tax User Guide. You can set up operating units using Oracle Human Resources, Oracle Inventory, or Oracle General Ledger. The setup of operating units requires a number of prerequisite setups. The number and kind of prerequisite setups depends upon your organization and your tax implementation. Related Topics Updating Establishments, Oracle Financials Implementation Guide Setting Up Accounts and Accounting Information Set up accounts and accounting information for your tax transactions. You must set up and maintain accounting information before you can set up tax accounts for the applicable operating units. You set up tax accounts by operating unit for taxes, tax rates, tax jurisdictions, tax recovery rates, and tax registrations of first party legal establishments. See: Setting Up Tax Accounts, Oracle E-Business Tax User Guide for more information. Review and complete these accounting setup tasks according to your requirements: Ledgers - Set up the chart of accounts, accounting calendar and currency for the primary ledger of your legal entities and, if applicable, any secondary ledgers. Legal entity balancing segments - Define balancing segment values for the legal entities involved in tax transactions. Accounting setup - Create an accounting setup for each legal entity with the ledger or ledgers that you created, and assign the applicable operating units to the primary ledger. Complete the accounting setup - Complete the details of the accounting setups. Related Topics Setting Up General Ledger, Oracle General Ledger Implementation Guide Creating Accounting Setups, Oracle Financials Implementation Guide Setting Up TCA Classifications Set up TCA classifications to classify third parties for tax purposes. You can define a TCA class category and class codes specifically for use in tax determination. You can also use standard classifications, such as the US Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes, and assign these codes a party fiscal classification. You must set up and maintain TCA classifications before you can perform these tax-related setups: Party fiscal classifications - Set up party fiscal classifications for your customers and customer sites and suppliers and supplier sites. Party fiscal classifications let you classify the customer/customer site or supplier/supplier site according to categories you define for tax-related purposes. See: Setting Up Party Fiscal Classifications, Oracle E-Business Tax User Guide for more information. Party tax profiles - Assign party fiscal classifications to third party tax profiles to use in tax determination for invoices associated with the party. See: Setting Up a Third Party Tax Profile, Oracle E-Business Tax User Guide for more information. Tax rules - Use the Party Fiscal Classification determining factor class to set up determining factor sets for use in tax rules. The Party Fiscal Classification determining factor class uses the party fiscal classification type defined for a TCA classification to identify the parties involved in a transaction. See: Setting Up Tax Determining Factor Sets, Oracle E-Business Tax User Guide for more information. Use TCA administration to set up and maintain classifications for use in party fiscal classifications: Class category - Set up a class category to represent the party fiscal classification type. These rules apply to enabling class category options for use with fiscal classifications: Allow Multiple Parent Codes - You cannot enable this option. E-Business Tax does not allow the class codes in a hierarchy to have multiple parents. Allow Parent Code Assignment - You can enable this option. E-Business Tax lets you use the parent code to represent a class code within the hierarchy. Allow Multiple Class Code Assignments - You can enable this option. E-Business Tax lets you assign more than one class code to the same entity within the hierarchy. Class codes - Set up class codes under the class category to represent the detailed classifications that belong to this class category. When you set up a party fiscal classification using a TCA class category, the related class codes by default become party fiscal classification codes. Related Topics Classifications Overview, Oracle Trading Community Architecture Administration Guide Administering Classifications, Oracle Trading Community Architecture Administration Guide Setting Up Oracle Inventory Use the Inventory Item Category functionality in Oracle Inventory to model product fiscal classifications. You can create either a single product fiscal classification type or a hierarchy of product fiscal classification types that matches the segments of the Inventory category. You can either use existing Inventory category sets or set up new Inventory category sets for use with product fiscal classifications. After you set up Inventory item categories and associate them with product fiscal classifications, the corresponding product fiscal classification code defaults to the transaction line for any item that belongs to the inventory category set. See: Setting Up Product Fiscal Classifications, Oracle E-Business Tax User Guide for more information. You can also specify a default Inventory category set for a given country. The Inventory category associated with the item for this default category set defaults to the transaction line. See: Setting Up Country Default Controls, Oracle E-Business Tax User Guide for more information. To model Inventory item categories for product fiscal classifications, you create categories and category sets and associate product fiscal classification types to the Inventory item category set. The Inventory setup tasks to model product fiscal classifications are: Define Inventory Value Set Define Inventory Item Category Structure Define Category Set Define Inventory Categories Associate Inventory Items to Category Sets You complete this setup task flow for each Inventory-based product fiscal classification type that you plan to define. Define Inventory Value Set Define a value set with the value type that the segments of the item category structure will use. Select a value type for the product fiscal classification codes that you intend to define, for example, alphanumeric code or numeric codes. Define Inventory Item Category Structure Define a category structure for the Inventory category set that you will use to create product fiscal classification types. If you are modeling a hierarchical classification system, then create a segment for each level in the hierarchy. Set subcategory segments as Not Required. Define Category Set Define a category set for the category structure that you created. Use a naming convention that corresponds to the product fiscal classification type that you intend to create. Define Inventory Categories Define the values for each segment of the category structure. The values represent the product fiscal classification codes. This is a sample representation of numeric codes for the Brazilian CNAE and NCM product fiscal classification: Structure Category Description BR CNAE 3901... Polymers of ethylene, in primary forms BR CNAE 3901.10.10 Linear polyethylene BR CNAE 3901.10.90 Other Associate Inventory Items to Category Sets Assign one or more Inventory categories belonging to the category set to the Inventory items that you intend to use on transactions. After you set up an Inventory item category set, use E-Business Tax to set up one or more product fiscal classification types and associate them with the Inventory item category set. If you are setting up a hierarchy of product fiscal classification types, define the starting point and the number of digits that make up each level code value in the hierarchy. See: Setting Up Product Fiscal Classifications, Oracle E-Business Tax User Guide for more information.
