Tax level

Use this field to specify the tax level.
Each country being ruled by its own tax rates, the tax level alone does not enable the rate to be applied to be determined. The tax is generally determined by crossing the tax rule associated with a BP and the tax level associated with a product.
 See the documentation on Tax determination for further information.
The tax level only displays the list of the different rates applied within a same rule.

In creation mode, the legislation code can be initialized via the user parameter LEGFIL - Legislation (selection filter) (SUP chapter, INT group). You can also use this parameter to filter the selection panel and only display the codes defined for this legislation and those defined for All legislations.
If a legislation is linked to the tax level, it will only be possible to use this tax level with companies of the same legislation.

General principles for legislation:

• When a record exists for a legislation, for example French legislation (FRA), it can only be used in other files (setups, movement entry, etc.) containing the same legislation (FRA) or no legislation at all. It cannot be used in a record containing a different legislation.
• When a record exists without legislation, or all the legislations, it can be used in other records regardless of their legislation.

This behavior is modifiedwhen a record has several legislations:

If a record (same code) exists for a legislation, for example FRA, and also without legislation, the behavior is as follows:

• For a record with a legislation different from the legislation defined in the data (FRA in the example):
  Only the data set up without legislation can be used.
   
• For a record containing an identical legislation (FRA in the example):
  Only the date set up with this legislation can be used, as long as it is active.
  The data set up without legislation cannot be used even if it is active, and the data set up with legislation is inactive.
   
• For a record for which there is no legislation entered:
  Only the data set up without legislation can be used.
  The data with a legislation is not available for selection and cannot be used.
  However, if the data without legislation does not exist, all data containing a legislation is available for selection and can be used.
  
  When using data available for several legislations that is set up with a group of companies, an additional control is carried out to maintain consistency within the  group of companies. It is a control between the legislation of the element (setup, flows, etc.) in which the data is used and the legislation of  group of companies entered on the  data and the reverse.
   
  Example: The Tax rate  setup element uses the Tax rule data.

If the Tax rate is linked to a legislation, the control ensures that the group of the Tax rule contains at least one company with the same legislation as the legislation of the Tax rate.

If the Tax rate is defined for a group has no legislation, the control ensures that the legislation of the Tax rule corresponds to at least one of the companies of the group entered on the Tax rate.

Select this check box so that the data can be used in other records (documents, parameters, etc.) or during a mass processing. If not selected, the data is considered to be inactive and it cannot be used in other records.

 Special case when the data is rejected by the legislation:

If a data (same code) exists both with a legislation (e.g. FRA) and with no notion of legislation, and is used in record, several cases are possible:

Case 1: the data is active (with the FRA legislation but without a notion of legislation)

• If the legislation of the record is identical (FRA in this example), only the data defined with the FRA legislation may be used. It will not be possible to use the data defined without legislation even if it is active.

Case 2: the data is not active with the FRA legislation but it is active with no notion of legislation.

• If the legislation of the record is identical (FRA in this example), it will not be possible to use the data defined with the FRA legislation since it is inactive. It will not be possible either to use the data defined without legislation even if it is active.

This long description is used as a title in screens and reports.

By default the short title, the long title or the column header of a data are recorded (on creation/update) in the connection language of the user.
You can add your translation in another language using the Translation function:

• Click Translation from the Actions icon in the corresponding field.
• In the Translation window, add a new language code with the translation in this language.

A user who logs on with this language will view the short description, long description or column header in their connection language if a translation exists. Otherwise, these descriptions will be available in the folder language.

The connection language must be defined as a default language for thefolder.

Use this field to access the different site/company groups available.
The group entered in this field allows you to filter the information displayed and to guarantee consistency of the function setup, but it is mainly used to have exceptions for several companies regarding a tax rule application.

By entering a company group, you can limit the scope to companies in the selected group only. When this data is used for another record or with a setup element also defined in the group, a control checks that the groups have at least one company in common when the groups are different.  

In addition, a consistency check is performed for the legislations of the companies in the selected group.
At least one of these companies must have the same legislation as the one entered in the Legislation field. If  not, a warning message displays.

For POR legislation, enter the tax code linked to the entity responsible for waste management.
