Odoo's tax engine is very flexible and support many different type of
|
||||
taxes: value added taxes (VAT), eco-taxes, federal taxes, retention,
|
||||
withholding taxes, etc. For most countries, the chart of account you
|
||||
setup is automatically pre-configured with the main taxes of the
|
||||
country.

Managing Taxes
|
||||
==============
|
||||
|
||||
Defining new taxes
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
|
||||
In order to create new taxes, use the menu :menuselection:`Configuration --> Taxes` in the
|
||||
accounting application. From this menu, you will get all the taxes you
|
||||
can use: sales taxes and purchase taxes.
|
||||
* Go to :menuselection:`Accounting --> Configuration --> Taxes`. From this menu, you
|
||||
get all the taxes you can use: sales taxes and purchase taxes.

|
||||
|
||||
When you create a new tax, you can set the following information:
|
||||
* Choose a scope: Sales, Purchase or None (e.g. deprecated tax).
|
||||
|
||||
- **Scope**: Sales, Purchases or None (e.g. deprecated tax)
|
||||
* Select a computation method:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Tax Account**: is the account where the tax journal item will be
|
||||
posted. This field is optional, if you keep it empty, Odoo posts
|
||||
the tax journal item in the income account.
|
||||
* **Fixed**: eco-taxes, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Label on Invoices**: a short text on how you want this tax to be
|
||||
printed on invoice line. For example, a tax named "21% on
|
||||
Services" can have the following label on invoice "21%".
|
||||
* **Percentage of Price**: most common (e.g. 15% sales tax)
|
||||
|
||||
- **Tax Group**: defines where this tax is summed in the invoice footer.
|
||||
All the tax belonging to the same tax group will be grouped on
|
||||
the invoice footer. Examples of tax group: VAT, Retention.
|
||||
* **Percentage of Price Tax Included**: used in Brazil, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Include in Analytic Cost**: the tax is counted as a cost and, thus,
|
||||
generate an analytic entry if your invoice uses analytic
|
||||
accounts.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Tags**: are used for custom reports. (usually, you can keep this field
|
||||
empty)
|
||||
|
||||
Taxes allow different computation mechanism:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Fixed**, example: an eco-tax of $1.34 per battery
|
||||
|
||||
- **Percentage**, example: 15% sales tax
|
||||
|
||||
- **Percentage of price**, tax included: example in brazil
|
||||
|
||||
- **Group of taxes**: allows to have a compound tax
|
||||
* **Group of taxes**: allows to have a compound tax

|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
|
||||
if you need more advanced tax mechanism, you can install the
|
||||
module **account_tax_python** and you will be able to define new taxes
|
||||
with Python code.
|
||||
* If you use Odoo Accounting, set a tax account (i.e. where the tax journal item will be
|
||||
posted). This field is optional, if you keep it empty, Odoo posts
|
||||
the tax journal item in the income account.
|
||||
|
||||
If a tax is included in price, it means that the price set on the
|
||||
product form includes this tax. As an example, let's say you have a
|
||||
product with a sale tax of 10%. The sale price on the product form is
|
||||
$100.
|
||||
|
||||
- If the tax is not included in the price, you will get:
|
||||
|
||||
- Price without tax: $100
|
||||
|
||||
- Taxes: $10
|
||||
|
||||
- Total to pay: $110
|
||||
|
||||
- If the tax is included in the price
|
||||
|
||||
- Price without tax: 90.91
|
||||
|
||||
- Taxes: $9.09
|
||||
|
||||
- Total to pay: $100

Stop using a tax
|
||||
----------------
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to avoid using a tax, you can not delete it because the tax
|
||||
is probably used in several invoices. So, in order to avoid users to
|
||||
continue using this tax, you should set the field **Tax Scope** to **None**.
|
||||
|
||||
Setting your default taxes
|
||||
==========================
|
||||
|
||||
Once you have created your taxes, you can define which tax is the
|
||||
default one when creating new products (for sales and purchase taxes).
|
||||
To set the default taxes, in the accounting application, go in the menu
|
||||
:menuselection:`Configuration --> Settings`.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Once taxes are set by default, when you create a new product, Odoo will
|
||||
propose you the right taxes by default on the product form.
|
||||
.. tip::
|
||||
If you want to avoid using a tax, you can not delete it because the tax
|
||||
is probably used in several invoices. So, in order to avoid users to
|
||||
continue using this tax, you should set the field *Tax Scope* to *None*.
|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
If you need more advanced tax mechanism, you can install the
|
||||
module **account_tax_python** and you will be able to define new taxes
|
||||
with Python code.
|
||||
|
||||
Advanced configuration
|
||||
======================
|
||||
|
||||
* **Label on Invoices**: a short text on how you want this tax to be
|
||||
printed on invoice line. For example, a tax named "15% on
|
||||
Services" can have the following label on invoice "15%".
|
||||
|
||||
* **Tax Group**: defines where this tax is summed in the invoice footer.
|
||||
All the tax belonging to the same tax group will be grouped on
|
||||
the invoice footer. Examples of tax group: VAT, Retention.
|
||||
|
||||
* **Include in Analytic Cost**: the tax is counted as a cost and, thus,
|
||||
generate an analytic entry if your invoice uses analytic
|
||||
accounts.
|
||||
|
||||
* **Tags**: are used for custom reports. Usually, you can keep this field
|
||||
empty.
|
||||
|
||||
Setting the default taxes impact the creation of product, but not
|
||||
sales order or invoices. The tax used on sales order or invoices is
|
||||
defined by the product on the sale order line.
