(BRA) Set up a withholding tax

Applies To: Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2

Use this procedure to set up a withholding tax code, a withholding tax type, and a calculation parameter to calculate withholding taxes for consultancy services or professional service payments. You can also enter values for the withholding tax code by using the Withholding tax values form.

Example

The following table explains how withholding tax is calculated as a percentage of a payment amount in a month.

Invoice number	Invoice date	Invoice amount	Withholding tax code (Origin – Percentage of gross amount in a month)	Minimum limit	Payment date	Payment journal amount
123	November 15, 2013	BRL 4000.00	10 percent	BRL 5000.00	November 25, 2013	BRL 4000.00. Because the amount has not exceeded the minimum limit, no withholding tax is applicable to invoice 123.
345	November 20, 2013	BRL 2000.00	10 percent	BRL 5000.00	November28, 2013	BRL 1400.00, which is the amount that remains after you deduct the withholding tax (BRL 2000 – BRL 600). BRL 600 is the net of withholding tax (6000*10%). 6000.00 is the sum of invoices 123 and 345, to which withholding taxes apply as a percentage of the payment amount in a month.
