There is no reason why you cannot make the same tax code perform similar functions in various countries, with different tax rates and properties but the same tax type. Why not use country-specific tax procedures instead of a single, all-embracing TAXEUR? I am a VAT expert and have designed tax schemes for many very large companies and the biggest tax procedure I ever designed used 71 codes, well within the limit you describe. They were able to work perfectly well with my tax scheme and never had a problem. A single tax procedure that is all things to all men strikes me as unnecessarily complicated. How do the users find the code they need among 1134 of them in a drop-down list? How do your SD consultants get on?

Subject: SAP Tax Code 2-digit limit

Hi,

I am part of multinational company with operations in all Western European countries.The SAP standard functionality assumes that the VAT tax code is a combination of two single characters (10 numeric digits + 26 alphabetic letters) which gives a total of 1296 available combinations, this tax code is then assigned to a Tax Procedure which in our case, is TAXEUR. This tax procedure has already assigned 1134 codes, this means that only less than 13% of the total number range is available.
We're planning major major roll-outs to Central and Eastern European countries and at the same time we are facing several VAT changes in some European countries, is there any solution to this topic if want to keep using the same tax procedure (TAXEUR)?

Regards,
Pedro
