Tax Migration as a pre-requisition to legal change GST

1. The TAXINJ tax procedure is currently in use. What are the prerequisite changes that need to be done for GST?

Ans: For GST regime solution adoption, TAXINN (condition based tax procedure) is a prerequisite, and for customers who are currently using TAXINJ, it is mandatory to migrate from TAXINJ (formula based tax procedure) to TAXINN.

2. Will GST for TAXINJ tax procedure be supported by SAP?

Ans: No, SAP will only support GST with TAXINN

3. For Tax procedure migration what would be the Minimum Support Pack level required?

Ans: For Tax procedure migration, there is no Minimum Support Pack level required. Only for GST adoption this is relevant. One may need to implement multiple SAPs if the system belongs to a very low Support Package. This is similar to the corrections that are done in component 'SAP_APPL'. that a significant amount of time will be consumed by this activity. Thus, one should plan the activity accordingly.

4. In TAXINN for direct FI transactions (FB01, FB60, FB70 etc.) posting, do we need to create new tax codes?

Ans: Yes. Create new tax codes in TAXINN for direct FI transactions. However, you can use the same names as in TAXINJ.

5. Will the length of tax code digits get increased in TAXINN?

Ans. No (they continue to remain as 2-digit codes)
