This note was written in a case study format using Canada as the example. It assumes that you have an existing implementation and that you are adding a new country, Canada, to your configuration.
Section 3 begins the case study with some mandatory setup steps. You should refer to the Financials Implementation Guide along with your module specific implementation documentation as appropriate fo documented in this section do cover mandatory setups for modules impacted by E-Business Tax. Each section also attempts to document the tax implications of options you might select when performing th
Section 4 begins the tax specific setups. In this section we walk you through the basic setup of your tax system. This section focuses on what E-Business tax calls the "Regime to Rate" flow where you ide Also covered are the default settings used by the rule engine to determine if a tax should be charged and if yes, how to calculate and record the tax.
Section 5 covers some of the more common business requirements applicable to this case study. In this section we explain in non-specific terms the general requirement that needs to be satisfied and prov origin of the requirement. We then provide a link to a note that provides in-depth examples, screenshots and video of how to configure a system to satisfy the requirement. Please note that these reference case study but rather are intended to convey examples of how the requirement might be satisfied.
Additional sections and content will be added to focus on Testing the solution and reporting. The intent of this Case Study is to help a new or existing user of E-Business Tax to understand concepts and set across numerous implementation and user manuals. It also attempts to show how you can comply with some general business requirements, thereby allowing you to focus on the less common requirements hope that this enables you to streamline your project to reduce the time/cost of the effort and raise the value realized by your business from E-Business Tax.
Case Study: Setup R12 E-Business Tax (EBTax) for Canada: Includes 2010 HST Changes Case Study: Setup R12 E-Business Tax (EBTax) for Canada: Includes 2010 HST Changes 1. Introduction
For Canada, you can model your tax setups based on these setup examples. These examples are intended to demonstrate recommended setups, settings, and interdependencies for each tax regime.
Disclaimer: This note is not intended to provide examples of all best practices nor cover all cases. The actual details of your own tax configuration setup will depend on your company's specific internal and case that the same business requirement can be satisfied in many ways. Please consult your tax department or obtain professional tax assistance to determine the specific requirements for your organizatio
Assumptions: This case study will guide you through the creation of basic tax setup for Canada. It assume that you already have completed the setup/installation of the applications and that you wish to ad Unit under which you will transact and pay/levy/collect taxes. Note: For this Case Study, we have chosen 1-Jan-2001 as the Effective From date but you may need to choose some other date depending on your requirement. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
b Tax Groups:
Tax Groups are no longer used in Release 12 - See Note 738000.1 Can I Create a Tax Group in R12 E-Business Tax? For more on the upgrade process refer to Note 810443.1 Troubleshooting and Overview of the E-Business tax R12 upgrade for Order to Cash -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Pre-Requisite Setup
Note that some pre-requisites are not required to be performed when using an upgraded instance.
Geography Hierarchy: A hierarchical relationships between a country and the specific geography elements that exist within a country (ex: State, Province, Territory, City, County, Parish, Postal Code To see how to setup a geography hierarchy, refer to Note 554492.1 Responsibility: Trading Community Manager Navigation: Trading Community > Administration > Geography Hierarchy For Canada, you must minimally define a geography type of "Province" under the country "Canada".

You may additionally wish to define lower levels in your hierarchy to enforce that users select valid city names and postal code combinations however this is not required for Canadian tax calculates as Country and Province. Some customers do choose to take this additional step to ensure that the mailing addresses are valid. Refer to the Trading Community Architecture Administration Guide complete implementation of this feature. Once the Geography Type of "Province" is defined, add each province under the "View Details" link
Important Note: Due to an issue with TCA, when a Geography value is created (Say AB for Alberta) the system will set the default date to the system date. You cannot update this via the applicatio tracking a fix for this in Bug 7150723 If you have a need to import historical data a data fix will be required until this UI defect is resolved. Tax calculation uses the geography structure to identify relevant jurisdictions when calculating taxes and evaluating tax rules such as place of supply rule. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You must also enabled Tax Validation for Reference1 for the hr_locations_all
Tax Relevancy: 1) Enabling Tax Validation for province ensures that all addresses match the province defined in TCA. Since TCA is the basis for the Jurisdictions and place of supply logic in E-Business Tax, it is you do not have tax validation enabled, the transactions in AR will not validate the tax location and tax calculation will not occur. 2) Enabling tax validation for HR_Locations ensures that the legal entity and operating unit addresses are valid for taxes and any rules referencing bill_from, ship_from, POO or POA will work as inten -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tax Relevancy: 1) For E-Business tax, a tax regime can be associated to a Legal Entity and then optionally one or more Operating units in that Legal Entity can share the tax setup. 2) At least one Legal Entity for Canada must be created. The Legal Entity should include the Tax Registration and represents a level where tax setup can be attached. 3) The Registration defined on the Legal Entity record is the source for the legal establishment defaults. The Establishment tax profile in turn feeds the Bill From in AR and the Bill To / Ship to in AP. 4) The checkbox on the Legal Entity controls self-assessment of taxes. For Canada, GST and HST must be self-assessed for imported goods. Be sure you update the Legal Entity to reflect this after Legal Establishment: First party legal entities identify your organization to the relevant legal authorities, for example, a national or international headquarters. First party legal establishments identify warehouse and any other location within the organization that has a tax requirement. When you create a legal entity, the system automatically creates a legal entity establishment. You can create according to your needs. For each legal establishment there are one or more tax registrations, depending upon the tax requirements of the applicable tax authority.

For Canada, GST and HST must be self-assessed for imported goods. Be sure you update the Legal Establishment to Ledger: Also known as set of books in 11i and prior releases this is the object that owns the accounting structure used for transactions.
Operating Unit: Assign operating units to the primary ledger to partition subledger transaction data when multiple operating units perform accounting in the context of one or more legal entities. At lea defined for each legal entity and set of books. Operating Units are also referred to as "Organizations". The Operating Unit Location is taken from the Legal Establishment record referenced in section 3 above Tax Relevancy: Operating Unit along with Legal Entity represent two levels where tax content can be owned and tax setup performed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Navigation: Setup > Transactions > AutoAccounting To see how to setup an AutoAccounting in Receivables, refer to Note 885225.1 on implementing Tax Accounting for Receivables.
For this Case Study, map the "account" segment for the "Tax" AutoAccounting so that it is derived from the 'Tax' account setup discussed later in this document. Details on how the tax account is deri later in this document.
Tax Relevancy: 1) The Tax AutoAccounting type is used to build the account combination that in turn is stored on the calculated tax amount on the tax line. 2) AutoAccounting is also called during the tax rule execution with the resulting account derived for your invoice line being available for use in your tax rules.
Note: If you define a tax rule to use the account combination, the account must be derived by AutoAccounting. Manually entered or overriden account combinations will be ignored during rule exec details on this restriction -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Transaction Types are seeded automatically when "Replicate Seed Data" is run in step 3f. Transaction types must be added only if you require additional transaction types beyond those seeded value
Tax Relevancy: 1) The "Default Tax Classification" checkbox must be checked on the transaction type if you intend to use the transaction line tax classification codes in your tax rule definitions. (Refer to Note:80153 configured or reference section 5 of this document which discusses an example applicable to Exports). 2) If your AutoAccounting setup references the transaction type as the source for Tax, the Tax Account must then be defined on the transaction type in this step. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Canada does not discount the tax when an early-payment discount is applied. Reference: Revenue Canada: Taxable or Exempt
Tax Relevancy: 1) Tax Rate Code Source: The Tax Rate Code Source you specify determines whether Receivables calculates and accounts for tax on adjustments, discounts, and miscellaneous receipts assigned Code Source of Invoice, then Receivables uses the tax accounting information defined for the invoice tax rate code(s) to automatically account for the tax. If the Receivables Activity type is Miscellane Asset or Liability tax accounts that you define for this Receivables Activity. If you set the Tax Rate code Source to "None" then taxes will not be applied on the adjustment. This is relevant for the disco 2) Recoverable / Non-Recoverable: As the name suggests, this radio button determines if the adjustment should be considered when determining recoverable tax amounts.
Note 1: If you wish to calculate tax on a miscellaneous receipt, the receivables activity type may not be linked to a jurisdiction specific tax rate because you cannot enter ship-to information in the Re mind when planning your implementation.
Note 2: This step may need to be deferred until after the tax setup if you choose to set the tax rate code source to Activity and enter a code on the activity type. This is most frequently done when a cash receipt -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

a. Define Regimes
Tax regime - A single system of taxation as defined by a set of laws and regulations that determines the treatment of one or more taxes administered by a tax authority. Tax Regimes are typically def
Why Two Regimes? As a best practice a regime should be created for each tax type. Since PST is a sales tax and GST/HST are VAT type taxes two regimes are defined. While it is possible to combine these into a sin for Quebec and Prince Edward Island presented later in the case study is based upon a two-regime model. This also has been the basis for the testing of this case study thus if you do elect to comb need to invest additional time to validate your solution.

After entering the above page, select "Continue" and then add the configuration option settings as shown for your Operating Unit. Repeat this for the PST regime. You may optionally set the "Configuration for Taxes and Rules" to "Common Configuration" if you do not wish to retain the flexibility for party specific (OU or LE specific) tax setup.

Note: You can also subscribe at the "Legal Entity" Level. If you only choose the LE option then you must also update your Party Tax Profile for the Operating Unit to use the configuration of the Leg calculated. Also if you choose "Legal Entity" then it is not required that you subscribe the operating unit as the aforementioned checkbox will cause the OU to defer to the LE setup. Finally, if you su setup that might exist at the OU level (Taxes, Rates, etc) would be ignored during tax calculation.

b. Define Taxes
Tax: A tax represents a distinct charge that can be applied to a transaction. Example: In Canada, depending upon the province, a transaction may have HST, GST and/or PST applied.

Tax Status: A tax status is the taxable nature of a product in the context of a transaction and a specific tax on the transaction. You define a tax status to group one or more tax rates that are of the sa Example: One tax can have separate tax statuses for standard, zero, exemption, and reduced rates. A zero rate tax status may have multiple zero rates associated with it in order to handle different usage, such as Intra EU, zero-rated products, or zero-rated exports. For Canada we have documented the setup to allow for this possibility though no specific example is provided in this limited setup

Settlement
1) Set as default Tax status: Each tax status must have at least one default. Tax Rules must be written to set alternate values as required. 2) Allow Tax Exemptions: With a rule based approach to setting tax exemptions, exempt transactions will be linked to an exempt tax status and rate. Setting the "Yes" value to this configuration op tax exemption on a transaction or directly in the party tax profile to record the exempt reason code. This is however not required nor enforced. Because the exemptions are primarily tracked by wa you use Caution when reporting if you intend to use the tax exemption fields on the seeded reports. Sample Screenshot of Tax Status

Jurisdiction: The incidence of a tax on a specific geographical area. A tax jurisdiction is limited by a geographical boundary that encloses a contiguous political or administrative area, most commonl represented by a state, province, city or a county tax jurisdiction. In E-Business Tax, a tax jurisdiction can use the geography setup from your TCA geography hierarchy to identify a tax rate. Taxes su require rates at the jurisdiction level. Example: Canadian PST and HST are applicable based upon the jurisdictions.

Note: Do not use a '%' sign in the tax recovery rate code as this will return errors when attempting to set the recovery rate on a tax rate. Internal bug 9343870 was logged. Error that will occur if this is done is: "The rate period and the associated default recovery rate must overlap. You can: adjust the rate period; enter another default recovery rate that is valid for the en recovery rate." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tax Rates - At least one tax rate is required for each tax status. Additional Tax Rates may be needed at the Jurisdiction Level if the tax rate applicable for the tax is unique for a particular jurisdiction.
Example: - In Canada, HST is applied at a 13% rate in Most provinces that have adopted HST except for BC where the Rate is 12% and Nova Scotia where the rate is 15%. To satisfy this requireme with no jurisdiction and then a 12% rate can be defined and associated with the BC jurisdiction (15% rate assigned to Nova Scotia). This minimizes the setup required by creating an exception based Note: In some cases such as Alcohol sales, taxes are applied at the quantity level. If therefore a $0.05 tax is applicable for each bottle a secondary tax, status and rate can be created to apply this examples below Setup Rates for GST AND HST

g. Define the Party Tax Profile for Legal Entity & Operating Unit
A tax profile is the body of information that relates to a party's transaction tax activities. A tax profile can include tax registration, tax exemptions, configuration options, main and default information, codes, and account tax details.
Steps Required: 1) Setup a tax profile for the Operating Unit and Legal Entity. Make sure that you have selected both tax regimes as associated to the Operating Unit (will automatically copy to the Legal Entity) or tha to the legal entity and you check the "Use Subscription of the Legal Entity" checkbox on the Operating Unit tax profile. For this case study we are subscribing at the operating unit. 2) Make sure the "Set for Self Assessment / Reverse Charge checkbox is checked if you wish to self-assess in AP (required for imports) Sample Screenshot of OU Tax Profile
Tax Relevance: 1) Tax Profiles contain vast amounts of data that can influence tax calculations and reporting. Most significantly, the configuration options tab on the Legal Entity and Operating Unit identify the tax transaction is created.
Note: If you select the "Use Subscription of the Legal Entity" on the Operating unit tax profile, the configuration options will be ignored and instead the application will reference the legal entity. This Business Tax such as the ability to define tax rules that reference operating unit "owned" components such as transaction type. Use caution when selecting this value as you can not reverse this se 2) Self-Assessment is critical for AP if you import materials. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tax Rules are evaluated by the rule engine for each enabled tax within a tax regime. Rules use a combination of defaults plus 1..N number of additional user defined rules to determine if a tax should be for the tax application, what rate to use, what jurisdiction is relevant (Place of supply), what source to use for a tax registration, what tax status to apply, what calculation method to execute and fina applicable). Setup defaults for each of the taxes defined in step 4b as shown below
Rule CA GST CA HST Blank CA PST Blank
Direct Tax Rate Determination Blank Determine Place of Supply Determine Tax Applicability Determine Tax Registration Determine Tax Status Determine Tax Rate Determine Taxable Basis Calculate Tax Amounts
Ship to, use bill to if ship to is not found Ship to, use bill to if ship to is not found Ship to, use bill to if ship to is not found Applicable Ship From Party CA GST STANDARD CA GST STANDARD RATE STANDARD_TB STANDARD_TC Applicable Ship From Party CA HST STANDARD CA HST STANDARD RATE STANDARD_TB STANDARD_TC Applicable Ship From Party CA PST CA PST STANDARD RATE STANDARD_TB STANDARD_TC
Note: Not all tax rules defaults are set in the "tax rules" window 1) Direct Tax Rate Determination is normally only used for upgraded regimes. This rule is also ignored if any other rules are enabled 2) Determine Tax Status is set on the tax status setup form

3) Determine Tax Rate is set on the Tax Rate setup form 4) Taxable basis is set to exclude early payment discounts as Canada does not discount the tax when an early-payment discount is applied. Reference: Revenue Canada: Taxable or Exempt
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: Not shown are several steps required to define a tax recovery rule. If you have selected to allow primary tax recovery rate determination rules then at least one such rule must exist for each t inventory and thus are not currently shown in this case study. They will be added as supporting content is created. To enable a tax for this case study take the following actions: 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) Query the tax Select "Update" Expand Tax to view "Defaults and Controls Select a "Default Primary Recovery Rate Code" and "Default Secondary Recovery Rate Code" as shown in the table below Apply
Value CA GST Value CA HST Value CA PST CA PST STANDARD REC RATE
Field Tax Default Primary Recovery Rate Code Default Secondary Recovery Rate Code
CA GST STANDARD REC RATE CA HST 100 PCT FED REC RATE CA HST 61.54 PCT PROV REC RATE
61.54 PCT rate is based upon current primary HST recovery rate for all provinces except for BC. In BC the recovery rate is 7/12th or 58.33%. A separate rate and rule must be defined to apply
Note: Bug 9762787 has reported a problem where the message below is displayed even when a tax rate has been defined: Row 1 Error - You must first define a tax rate for this tax.

This is solved after applying patch 9762787:R12.ZX.B Or as a workaround you can uncheck the checkbox next to "Allow tax rate rules" and enable the tax. This can be changed at a later date when/if you define a tax rate rule. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So how did the prior steps cause this to calculate? 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) An Invoice was entered against a specific Operating Unit which is part of a Legal Entity The OU or LE are linked to the "Tax Regime" by way of the tax profile. This triggered E-Business tax to consider the regime. The tax place of supply rule validated that the bill-to address should be considered The bill-to address on the invoice had a province and country that could be tied to a taxing jurisdiction within the regime The taxing jurisdiction was found to be associated with a valid tax rate The tax was applicable Standard tax calculation was used (rule defaults said to use line amount * Tax rate)

This section discusses tax setup necessary to address some common scenarios encountered in Canada. For more on how to setup tax rules and use determining factors please review Note 1108463 and provide sample tax rule setup built upon this case study.
a. Adjusting the Taxable Basis for Quebec and Prince Edward Island
The taxable basis formula for most transactions is (line amount) *(tax rate). Since the PST in Quebec and on Prince Edward Island is calculated on the selling price plus GST, you will need to define a identify when a different taxable basis is needed and which taxable basis tax formula to use. Note 1063491.1 documents the step-by-step setup required to comply with this requirement. Tax Setup Impact of Note on Case Study: 1) Tax Regime compounding must be enabled and precedence set (Already shown in step 4a on Tax Regime setup) 2) Tax Zone setup required (New step - no impact on prior setup) 3) Tax Formula setup required (New step - no impact on prior setup) 4) Taxable Basis Rule setup required (New step - no impact on prior setup) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Canada Revenue Agency has stated that good exported out of Canada are zero rated for GST if they take delivery outside of Canada. Goods delivered inside Canada may also be zero rated as e when the purchase is not a consumer and the purchaser exports the goods as soon as is reasonable in the circumstance after you deliver them.

The default logic will automatically exclude items with a ship-to address outside of Canada from having GST applied. This example assumes that all exports should in fact have a tax line with a zero r addresses two scenarios: Scenario 1: Goods are sold with a ship-to address outside of Canada Scenario 2: Goods are delivered in Canada for immediate export Again in both of these cases the tax should apply with a Zero Rate. Note 1063534.1 'How To Apply A Zero Rate Tax To Exports' has been created to provide step-by-step instructions for setting up rules to comply with this requirement. A similar approach can be taken when creating tax rules for other Exempt or Zero Rated goods as defined by Canada Revenue Tax Setup Impact of Note on Case Study: 1) 2 Tax place of supply rules required 2) Tax rate must be added to regime to allow for LOV selection -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In Canada, GST and HST are normally assessed on the transportation expenses. Refer to the GST/HST Info Sheet published by Canada Revenue for more details. The requirement is therefore to ta cost. This is done by following the instructions referenced in the note below. Note 764297.1 - How Tax on Freight Works in R12 Order to Cash Note: The example in the note is not specific to this case study but the same flow/approach can be used for Canada. Tax Setup Impact of Note on Case Study: 1) Tax Profile Option Settings required 2) Freight must be defined as inventory item 3) Product Fiscal Classification setup may be required 4) Tax applicability rule may be required 5) Tax exception may need to be created -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
d. Self-Assessed Taxes
In Canada, taxes must be self-assessed for a number of scenarios including against purchases where the supplier is outside of Canada and not registered to assess taxes. To see how to configure your system to comply with this sample scenario, refer to Note 948414.1 How to Configure a Tax for Automatic Self-Assessment in R12 E-Business Tax and Payables Tax Setup Impact of Note on Case Study: 1) Tax profile for LE may need to be updated 2) Vendor tax profiles may need to be created 3) Tax Registration Rule may be required -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Receivables: In many cases, companies desire to track their tax liabilities using unique tax account combinations for each Tax that is assessed on an invoice. For example, in Canada an invoice may be charged b liability out of GL these would need to hit separate account combinations. This is accomplished by setting up Receivables AutoAccounting and mapping E-Business Tax accounts at the proper level.
To see a detailed example of how this setup is performed and how E-Business Tax and Receivables work together to derive interim tax accounts, refer to Note 885225.1 Setting up Tax Account for R1 Receivables. Payables: To see more information about how tax accounting is configured for Payables, refer to the accounting section in <Note735991.1> Tax Setup Impact of Note on Case Study: 1) Tax setup may require changes (NOTE: Changes must be made prior to performing section 4!) 2) Jurisdiction setup may require changes (NOTE: Changes must be made prior to performing section 4!) 3) Tax Accounts must be set at appropriate levels -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As discussed earlier in section 4e of this note, Canada allows for recovery on HST and GST and some provinces allow recovery of all or some PST payments. To satisfy this requirement you will nee

If you can recover both through Input Tax Credits and Rebates, consider setting up unique recovery rates for each. You can then set accounts for each scenario to simplify your reporting and tax form To see a detailed example of how recoverable taxes are implemented, refer to Note 735991.1 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
