| 2 | +How to manage cash basis taxes |
| 3 | +============================== |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +The cash basis taxes are due when the payment has been done and not at |
| 6 | +the validation of the invoice (as it is the case with standard taxes). |
| 7 | +Reporting your income and expenses to the administration based on the |
| 8 | +cash basis method is legal in some countries and under some conditions. |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +Example : You sell a product in the 1st quarter of your fiscal year and |
| 11 | +receive the payment the 2nd quarter of your fiscal year. Based on the |
| 12 | +cash basis method, the tax you have to pay to the administration is due |
| 13 | +for the 2nd quarter. |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +How to configure cash basis taxes ? |
| 16 | +------------------------------------ |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +You first have to activate the setting in |
| 19 | +:menuselection:`Accounting --> Configuration --> Settings --> Allow Tax Cash Basis`. |
| 20 | +You will be asked to define the Tax Cash Basis Journal. |

| 26 | + |
| 27 | +Once this is done, you can configure your taxes in |
| 28 | +:menuselection:`Accounting --> Configuration --> Taxes`. |
| 29 | +You can open a tax and in the *Advanced Options* |
| 30 | +tab you will see the checkbox *Use Cash Basis*. You will then have to |
| 31 | +define the *Tax Received Account*. |

| 38 | +What is the impact of cash basis taxes in my accounting ? |
| 39 | +---------------------------------------------------------- |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +Let’s take an example. You make a sale of $100 with a 15% cash basis |
| 42 | +tax. When you validate the customer invoice, the following entry is |
| 43 | +created in your accounting: |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | ++-----------------------------+-----------------------+ |
| 46 | +| Customer Invoices Journal | | |
| 47 | ++=============================+=======================+ |
| 48 | +| **Debit** | **Credit** | |
| 49 | ++-----------------------------+-----------------------+ |
| 50 | +| Receivables $115 | | |
| 51 | ++-----------------------------+-----------------------+ |
| 52 | +| | Tax Account $15 | |
| 53 | ++-----------------------------+-----------------------+ |
| 54 | +| | Income Account $100 | |
| 55 | ++-----------------------------+-----------------------+ |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +A few days later, you receive the payment: |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | ++----------------+--------------------+ |
| 60 | +| Bank Journal | | |
| 61 | ++================+====================+ |
| 62 | +| **Debit** | **Credit** | |
| 63 | ++----------------+--------------------+ |
| 64 | +| Bank $115 | | |
| 65 | ++----------------+--------------------+ |
| 66 | +| | Receivables $115 | |
| 67 | ++----------------+--------------------+ |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | +When you reconcile the invoice and the payment, this entry is generated: |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | ++--------------------------+----------------------------+ |
| 72 | +| Tax Cash Basis Journal | |
| 73 | ++==========================+============================+ |
| 74 | +| **Debit** | **Credit** | |
| 75 | ++--------------------------+----------------------------+ |
| 76 | +| Tax Account $15 | | |
| 77 | ++--------------------------+----------------------------+ |
| 78 | +| | Tax Received Account $15 | |
| 79 | ++--------------------------+----------------------------+ |
| 80 | +| Income Account $100 | | |
| 81 | ++--------------------------+----------------------------+ |
| 82 | +| | Income Account $100 | |
| 83 | ++--------------------------+----------------------------+ |
| 84 | + |
| 85 | +.. tip:: |
| 86 | + The two journal items created in the Income Account are neutral but |
| 87 | + they are needed to insure correct tax reports in Odoo. |
