How to manage cash basis taxes
|
|||
|
|
==============================
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The cash basis taxes are due when the payment has been done and not at
|
|||
|
|
the validation of the invoice (as it is the case with standard taxes).
|
|||
|
|
Reporting your income and expenses to the administration based on the
|
|||
|
|
cash basis method is legal in some countries and under some conditions.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Example : You sell a product in the 1st quarter of your fiscal year and
|
|||
|
|
receive the payment the 2nd quarter of your fiscal year. Based on the
|
|||
|
|
cash basis method, the tax you have to pay to the administration is due
|
|||
|
|
for the 2nd quarter.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
How to configure cash basis taxes ?
|
|||
|
|
------------------------------------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
You first have to activate the setting in
|
|||
|
|
:menuselection:`Accounting --> Configuration --> Settings --> Allow Tax Cash Basis`.
|
|||
|
|
You will be asked to define the Tax Cash Basis Journal.

|

|
|
|
|||
|
|
Once this is done, you can configure your taxes in
|
|||
|
|
:menuselection:`Accounting --> Configuration --> Taxes`.
|
|||
|
|
You can open a tax and in the *Advanced Options*
|
|||
|
|
tab you will see the checkbox *Use Cash Basis*. You will then have to
|
|||
|
|
define the *Tax Received Account*.

What is the impact of cash basis taxes in my accounting ?
|
|||
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Let’s take an example. You make a sale of $100 with a 15% cash basis
|
|||
|
|
tax. When you validate the customer invoice, the following entry is
|
|||
|
|
created in your accounting:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
+-----------------------------+-----------------------+
|
|||
|
|
| Customer Invoices Journal | |
|
|||
|
|
+=============================+=======================+
|
|||
|
|
| **Debit** | **Credit** |
|
|||
|
|
+-----------------------------+-----------------------+
|
|||
|
|
| Receivables $115 | |
|
|||
|
|
+-----------------------------+-----------------------+
|
|||
|
|
| | Tax Account $15 |
|
|||
|
|
+-----------------------------+-----------------------+
|
|||
|
|
| | Income Account $100 |
|
|||
|
|
+-----------------------------+-----------------------+
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
A few days later, you receive the payment:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
+----------------+--------------------+
|
|||
|
|
| Bank Journal | |
|
|||
|
|
+================+====================+
|
|||
|
|
| **Debit** | **Credit** |
|
|||
|
|
+----------------+--------------------+
|
|||
|
|
| Bank $115 | |
|
|||
|
|
+----------------+--------------------+
|
|||
|
|
| | Receivables $115 |
|
|||
|
|
+----------------+--------------------+
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
When you reconcile the invoice and the payment, this entry is generated:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
+--------------------------+----------------------------+
|
|||
|
|
| Tax Cash Basis Journal |
|
|||
|
|
+==========================+============================+
|
|||
|
|
| **Debit** | **Credit** |
|
|||
|
|
+--------------------------+----------------------------+
|
|||
|
|
| Tax Account $15 | |
|
|||
|
|
+--------------------------+----------------------------+
|
|||
|
|
| | Tax Received Account $15 |
|
|||
|
|
+--------------------------+----------------------------+
|
|||
|
|
| Income Account $100 | |
|
|||
|
|
+--------------------------+----------------------------+
|
|||
|
|
| | Income Account $100 |
|
|||
|
|
+--------------------------+----------------------------+
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
.. tip::
|
|||
|
|
The two journal items created in the Income Account are neutral but
|
|||
|
|
they are needed to insure correct tax reports in Odoo.
