Withholding taxes
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
A **withholding tax**, also known as retention tax, mandates the payer of a customer invoice to
|
|
deduct a tax from the payment and remit it to the government. Typically, a tax is included in the
|
|
subtotal to calculate the total amount paid, while withholding taxes are directly subtracted from
|
|
the payment.
|
|
|
|
Configuration
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
In Odoo, a withholding tax is defined by creating a negative tax. To create one, go
|
|
to :menuselection:`Accounting --> Configuration --> Taxes` and, in the :guilabel:`Amount` field,
|
|
enter a negative amount.

|
|
|
|
Then, go to the :menuselection:`Advanced Options` tab and create a retention :guilabel:`Tax Group`.

|
|
|
|
.. tip::
|
|
If the retention is a percentage of a regular tax, create a :guilabel:`Tax` with a
|
|
:guilabel:`Tax Computation` as a :guilabel:`Group of Taxes`. Then, set both the regular tax and
|
|
the retention one in the :guilabel:`Definition` tab.
|
|
|
|
Retention taxes on invoices
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
Once the retention tax has been created, it can be used on customer forms, sales orders, and
|
|
customer invoices.
|
|
Several taxes can be applied on a single customer invoice line.
