Setting Up Tax Reporting Types

Use tax reporting types to capture additional tax information on transactions for your tax reports. You can use tax reporting types for your internal reporting needs and to fulfill country-specific reporting requirements.

A tax reporting type identifies a specific unit of information, such as a date or a text comment, to associate with a specific tax usage, such as a fiscal classification or tax jurisdiction. You can also create a group of tax reporting codes for a tax reporting type, to provide additional granularity for tax reporting. You can add tax reporting codes to a tax reporting type at any time.

A tax reporting type region appears on the corresponding page of each E-Business Tax entity that you associate with tax reporting types. If applicable, the selection is limited to the tax reporting types associated with the corresponding tax regime and associated entities. Use legal justification reporting types to associate legal message text on your Receivables transactions and lines. This message can also be printed on invoices using BPA.
