3.2. I prepare the information of the withholding tax to be paid

It is known in Italy as RITENUTA D' ACCONTO and corresponds to the amount of withholding tax to be paid to the tax authorities on invoices effectively paid on behalf of third parties by the 16th of the month following the date of the payment of the invoice.

3.2.1. I prepare the information

3.2.1.1. I run the SAP transaction FIWTIT_CU - Italy withholding tax reporting

Run transaction FIWTIT_CU - Italy withholding tax reporting

1) Select Variant IT RITENUTA


2) Several parameters are already filled you just need to confirm:

    • Company code
    • Period (should always be the previous month)

 

3) Execute.

The result will be similar to:


4) Then change the layout to  /RITENUTA


5) Last step is to extract the data to excel and copy it to the template indicated.

Go to "Print preview of entire hierarchy"

 


A new screen will appear and go to system and extract to excel as shown:

 


With this extraction we will have an overview of all movements in the accounts and provide detailed information about the vendors we are paying the withholding tax for. 

3.2.1.2. I calculate the monthly F24 payment

By principle we have to pay the WHT only for those invoices effectively paid. 
Taking in consideration that at the time of the assignment to CICC, the WHT is posted temporary in account 2452090100 (KS document) and only at the due date of the invoice (= real payment date to the vendor) the amount is cleared and transferred to account 2452090000 - Withholding taxes payable-others, it's in account 2452090000 that we find the WHT to be paid. 
Having that as a second step open the template indicated in the end of the procedure. 
Copy the information extracted in 3.2.1.1. to column B:


The extraction is providing us all the invoices posted within the period with withholding tax to be paid. From this list we will need to confirm if there are invoices from previous periods paid in the current month and if invoices posted will be paid in the future. 
For that, open transaction FBL3N with open items at end of each month for account 2452090000 and confirm with the details extracted.
Go to the file, sheet Detail RITENUTA D'ACCONTO and add in column A the month of the payment:

  • If invoice paid in the current month add the number correspondent to the month (1 to 12)
  • If invoices posted will be paid in the future leave it blank.


Note that in some cases you may have differences between the vendor extraction and SAP due to manual postings, contracts cancellation, etc. In these cases check line items in the SAP account and add it in the file sheet Detail RITENUTA D'ACCONTO. 
Refresh the pivot table from sheet F24 PAYMENT to calculate the total amount to be paid in the month.

 

In the end the total amount to be paid in the current month reflect the open items balance of account 2452090000 and the invoices we are not considering reflect the amount open in account 2452090100. 
Take as example March 2017 for company 0270: 



 

As soon as you finalize this check send a message to CAM indicating the amount to pay for the month in analysis and the link to the filled template to ensure that the F24 payment is done.

3.2.1.3. I make a consistency check

By the end of the month after the booking of the bank movement F24 (1040 + 1038) you can complete the procedure by checking and clearing the a account 2452090000. 
Complete the information in the table for future reference and in case of differences add a comment and report to CAM.

3.2.2.2. I calculate the monthly F24 payment

Having that, as a second step open the template indicated in the end of the procedure. 
The file is cumulative and copy the information extracted in 3.2.2.2 to column B:


The extraction is providing us all the invoices posted within the period with withholding tax to be paid. From this list we will need to confirm if there are invoices from previous periods paid in the current month and if invoices posted will be paid in the future. 
For that, open transaction FBL3N with open items at end of each month for account 44900900 and confirm with the details extracted.
