How to create new taxes
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
Odoo's tax engine is very flexible and support many different type of
|
|
taxes: value added taxes (VAT), eco-taxes, federal/states/city taxes, retention,
|
|
withholding taxes, etc. For most countries, your system is pre-configured with the
|
|
right taxes.
|
|
|
|
This section details how you can define new taxes for specific use cases.
|
|
|
|
* Go to :menuselection:`Accounting --> Configuration --> Taxes`. From this menu, you
|
|
get all the taxes you can use: sales taxes and purchase taxes.

|
|
|
|
* Choose a scope: Sales, Purchase or None (e.g. deprecated tax).
|
|
|
|
* Select a computation method:
|
|
|
|
* **Fixed**: eco-taxes, etc.
|
|
|
|
* **Percentage of Price**: most common (e.g. 15% sales tax)
|
|
|
|
* **Percentage of Price Tax Included**: used in Brazil, etc.
|
|
|
|
* **Group of taxes**: allows to have a compound tax
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
* 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.
|
|
|
|
.. 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.
