Split payment for invoices issued to the Public Administration

  • Άρθρο

This article provides information about the split payment accounting schema.

The split payment accounting schema is valid for the sale of goods and services rendered to the Public Administration. The split payment mechanism transfers the tax payment obligation to the Public Administration who are obligated to pay only the taxable base to the supplier. The VAT is credited to a specific reserved account. Companies that have relationships with the Public Administration should ensure that the relevant VAT is recorded in the register sales, without contributing to the periodic VAT payment.

Working with the split payment invoices

When posting the invoice, such as sales order, free text invoice, or project invoice. with the Split payment sales tax group, the reversing sales tax transactions with relevant tax codes are posted to eliminate the tax being accrued. To reduce the customer balance, a customer transaction for the sales tax amount is created and automatically settled with the invoice while invoice posting. This reduces the customer balance by the VAT amount. Note: The tax transactions posted with the **Split payment **option selected are excluded from the sales tax payment process. eInvoices created using the Split payment process have an "S" in the tag <EsigibilitaIVA>.
