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.
