Sales Tax Office provides:

• Rates and Taxability — Stay up-to-date with trusted rate and taxability data from CCH, updated monthly with a simple download. SAP material group or product hierarchy values can be mapped to CCH SKU’s to activate the groups and items, with customer products, rules and tax rate overrides all supported.
• Nexus, Jurisdiction and Sourcing — Avoid collecting unnecessary taxes by accurately establishing nexus and determining which taxes must be collected, with advanced geocoding and spatial analysis.
• Flexible Calculation — Increase the accuracy of your sales tax calculations with the ability to precisely calculate taxes at the line item level, use multiple ship-from and ship-to combinations in a single invoice, manage minimum and maximum tax rules, and handle complex tax calculation routines involving tax brackets, tax charts and tiered taxes.
• Consumer Use Tax Processing — Perform consumer use tax self-assessments using your existing GL account numbers and/or purchase system codes to the standard SAP tax interface that is used to process purchase orders and vendor invoices. Modify the tax interface to apply tax decisions based on account number, configuring rules in Sales Tax Office to identify location, product and service classification, and usage.
• User-Friendly Interface — Increase productivity with easy-to-use features that let you drill down into the details of a transaction, create and maintain custom taxes and overrides, and originate tax only credits.
• Simple Customer Exemption Management — Save time on handling exemptions and shift the customer exemption processing logic and management from SAP to Sales Tax Office. This solution lets you create a wide variety of customer exemptions (e.g. blanket, partial, single invoice) and can be used to apply taxable basis reductions. Exemptions can be created using built-in exemption reason classifications, customer ship-to or sold-to numbers, or custom exemption classes (e.g., resale, manufacturing, wholesale).
• End-of-Month Compliance — Create seamless, end-to-end automation with liability reports based on specified date ranges, audit reports for taxes and exemptions, and output files for delivery to your compliance needs.

Communication between the SAP ERP system and the Sales Tax Office tax calculation engine is established using SAP RFC (Remote Function Call) and SAP tRFC (Transactional RFC) tax interface, which exchanges data between the SD, FI, and MM modules of SAP.

The SAP tax interface enables Sales Tax Office to perform tax calcu¬lations that support functional tax and business requirements:

• Sales tax is estimated during the creation of quotes and sales orders.
• Sales tax liabilities are calculated on customer invoices, by line item, applying tax rate reductions when applicable.
• Customer claims for exemption (e.g. resale, not-for-profit, exempt organization) are applied during the tax calculation, which can be limited to specific products, by tax type, by tax authority, or a combination of related conditions.
• Sales tax estimates related to purchase orders or purchase requisitions are not recorded in the Sales Tax Office transaction history tables.
• Sales tax estimates or use tax accrual calculations are determined by the receiving, or ship-to, location (e.g. plant, cost center, storage location).
• Accrued use tax is recorded in Sales Tax Office transaction history table and in SAP, when applicable.
• The SAP ERP will perform a basic validation of sales tax charged by the vendor as compared to the tax calculated by Sales Tax Office. If the validation process does not agree with the sales tax charged by the vendor, then:
  • Accounts payable staff can pay sales tax as billed by vendor, or
  • Accounts payable staff can short-pay sales tax charged, and
  • Accrue applicable tax amounts, if any.
• The SAP tax interface can be customized via SAP user exit to enable enhanced procure-to-pay processing logic contained in Sales Tax Office. CCH provides a variety of pre-defined “Productivity Tool” packages to standardize and streamline the deployment of very common SAP user exits needed to enhance tax processing.
