Krishi kalyan Cess configuration

With the encasement of the Finance Bill 2016, Krishi Kalyan Cess @0.5% will be levied on all taxable services.  So from 1st june 2016 effective service tax rate will be 15%. The tax break up will be:

In addition to that CENVAT credit will be applicable for Krishi Kalyan Cess. So total CENVAT credit available on service tax will be14.5%.

Now we have to map the cess in SAP. For that SAP is already released the note 2319788. In that note the customization document also provided. Here I want to brief about the configuration maintained in it in the receivable (A/P) point view.

Basically service tax categories are in 2 ways.

1. Full reverse charge :  Under full reverse charge the service receiver is liable to pay service tax and

2. Partial/joint reverse charge:  In this Mechanism, both the service receiver and the service  provider are liable to pay service tax at specified percentage 

                                              of the value of taxable service.

I am not going in depth above topic. Now come to configuration point of view in SAP. In the customization document the below conditions have been created.

1.   JKKP – IN: AP KK Cess – 

     The above condition will use for full reverse charge

2.   JKK1 – IN: AP KKC RCM

      JKK2 – IN: KKC RCM Offset

    These 2 conditions will use for partial reverse charge

In addition to that the below account keys are created for posting to GL accounts

1  .KP1: A/P KK Cess Tax – Is used for full reverse charge

2. KP2: A/P KKC RCM  & KP3: A/P KKC RCM Offset – These keys are used for partial reverse charge

As I already mentioned CENVAT credit available for the KKC. For that we have to create a KKC receivable a/c  and assign it to the keys KP1 & KP2 in OB40. In addition to that create KKC payable a/c and assign it to KP3.

When you make invoice posting,after done other configuration mentioned in the document. The system will pass below entry in 2 cases:

1. Expense A/c Dr

    Service tax receivable A/c Dr 

   Swach Bharat Cess A/c Dr

    KKC receivable A/c Dr

    Vendor A/c

2. Expense A/c Dr

    Service tax receivable A/c Dr 

   Swach Bharat Cess A/c Dr

    KKC receivable A/c Dr 

    Service tax payable A/c Dr 

   Swach Bharat Cess Payable A/c Dr

    KKC Payable A/c Cr

    Vendor A/c  Cr

In case if the company is EOU & SEZ scheme, then it cannot take CENVAT credit. In that case the KKC should be posted to separate expense account or distribute it to relevant account. The two cases I have mentioned below:

1. If we want to post it to separate expense account, then assign the expense GL account for the keys KP1 & KP2 in OB40.

2. If want to distribute it to relevant expense, then assign the key NVV to the tax conditions JKKP & JKK1 in the tax procedure in OBQ3.

However, we can map partial reverse charge under withholding tax also. The configuration will share in another document.
