Control matrix

In the tax matrix, you determine how a tax key works. This primarily concerns the percentage rate and the tax account(s) addressed.

Before you can use a tax key in the tax matrix,
you must create it under Edit tax key (1).

Tax codes (2) and (3): An obsolete algorithm that is still used for reasons of grandfathering. We recommend that new customers do not fill in this field.

The country code (4) is relevant if you use tax codes for different countries, i.e. if you generate taxable sales in several countries. This is the typical case in the OSS procedure (B2C business).

You can create a new row in the matrix via Add. First select the tax code (5). A tax key can only be used in one row.

Then assign a percentage (6) to the key.

Depending on how you created the key under (1), you must assign an input tax account (7), a sales tax account (8 ) or both.
Only G/L accounts whose account indicator in the G/L account master is input tax or sales tax are displayed.

If you now save, you can already use the tax key in postings.
