Use
The system checks VAT registration numbers in country-speci c eld checks. SAP has coded country-speci c validations for
European VAT numbers, which are used as a basis for these checks.
Activities
The UK VAT registration number is often printed with two spaces, for example, GB 123 456789, but we recommend that you use
11 characters instead of 13 characters for validation purposes. You can specify the rule used to check the maximum length of VAT
numbers for GB company codes in Customizing by choosing SAPNet Weaver → General Settings → Set countries → Set
country-speci c checks . Select the country code GB and choose the Details button. On the next screen, enter 11 in the Length
column and 1 in the Checking Rule column for VAT registration no . Select the Other Data checkbox under Further Checks to
activate country-speci c VAT number validation checking and then save your entries.
Note
If your business partner is a UK Government department or a UK Health Authority, deselect the Other Data checkbox under
Further Checks as these bodies have VAT numbers that do not satisfy the general modulus 97 rule.
For more generic information on VAT numbers, see VAT Registration Numbers .
Use
When you purchase goods in a foreign currency but the invoice shows the VAT amount in sterling, you have to post the sterling
VAT amount to the input VAT account. A system conversion of the foreign currency amount is not permitted. As the supplier has
accounted for VAT in sterling at the rate of exchange on invoicing, the exchange rate for input VAT has to be derived from the
foreign currency VAT and sterling VAT total amounts. You have to reclaim the same sterling amount and therefore have to enter
the exchange rate used for the UK VAT on invoice entry.
Prerequisites
You have de ned your company code.
Activities
You have to set up the system to allow you to enter the exchange rate manually. To do so, in Customizing for Financial
Accounting , choose Financial Accounting Global Settings Tax on sales/purchases Calculation Change foreign currency

To process withholding tax reporting, you can choose from the following options:
Run Compliance Reports app on the SAP Fiori Launchpad as described in Advanced Compliance Reporting for the United
Kingdom.
Generic Withholding Tax Reporting (report name: RFIDYYWT) in the SAP Client.
Use
Local version United Kingdom comes with functions for monitoring all payments in the construction industry in which
contractors and subcontractors must comply with the corresponding taxation requirements.
Under the terms of Construction Industry Scheme (CIS), the HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) requires you (as the
contractor) to track and report all payments made to construction companies, and in some cases to withhold tax. Its aim is to
improve the level of compliance by construction businesses with their tax obligations. The types of businesses covered by CIS
are de ned by HMRC.
If you are a contractor and your business is included in the CIS business types, you must rst register for CIS as a contractor
with HMRC. Before you pay the subcontractor for the construction work, you must check whether the subcontractor is
registered in the system of HMRC, and if so, you must verify the subcontractor through the Government Gateway. During the
veri cation process, HMRC speci es the tax status of the subcontractor that determines the rate of deduction (if any).
You, as a contractor, must complete and submit a monthly return of all payments made, including nil returns.
If you are a subcontractor, you are required to register for the new CIS only if you did not have a tax certi cate or registration
card for the former CIS that was valid on April 5, 2007. If you register for the new CIS, HMRC de nes your tax status and informs
the contractor about it during the veri cation process. If you register for self-assessment, HMRC provides you with a unique
taxpayer reference (UTR) number that your contractor must use for the veri cation.
Prerequisites
This product enables you to set up Exchange Infrastructures (XI) in the Government Gateway for both the vendor veri cation
process and the e- ling of monthly returns between your SAP system and the system of tax authorities. Proceed as follows:
To verify vendors, implement SAP Note 1173466, and con gure the XI by following the instructions given to you in the
document attached to the Note.
To le your monthly return, implement SAP Note 1047161, and con gure the XI by following the instructions given to you
in the CIS_300_XI_Con guration document attached to the Note.

Before you pay a subcontractor for construction work, you are required to verify your subcontractor in the system of HMRC.
During the veri cation process, HMRC matches and veri es your subcontractor, and provides you with the tax status. This
status de nes the tax treatment you must apply when you pay for the construction work.
Procedure
1. Run the Vendor Veri cation transaction:
a. To access the transaction, on the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Accounting Financial Accounting
Accounts Payable Withholding Tax United Kingdom Extended Withholding Tax Vendor Veri cation .
b. Enter your company code, the period end date, and execute the transaction.
The system lists the data of all vendors you must match and verify with HMRC.
The system automatically transmits data through the Government Gateway to HMRC using SAP Exchange
Infrastructure.
If you provided insufficient data to HMRC, they require you to correct the data by contacting your subcontractor
and start the process again. If HMRC can make a match in their system based on the subcontractor's data, they
send you the tax status to be applied and the veri cation number back through the Government Gateway. In case
the subcontractor's tax status is unidenti ed, you receive a temporary veri cation number with a suffix (for
example, V0000786543BB). Each time you work with this subcontractor, you must verify the subcontractor
because you can use the temporary veri cation number only once.
2. Run the Vendor Master Data Update report when you receive the veri cation number from HMRC:
a. To access the report, on the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Accounting Financial Accounting Accounts
Payable Withholding Tax United Kingdom Extended Withholding Tax Vendor Master Data Update .
b. Enter your company code and in the Tax Details group box, ll out any of the relevant withholding tax types or tax
codes manually you have speci ed in Customizing, then execute the report.
c. Select the rows in the Vendors for Selection group box and execute the report again.
The system moves the vendors to the Updated Vendors group box and updates the data in the vendor master
records at the same time.
Note
If an error message appears in the Error Messages group box, you must correct the data as required in the
message.

List output for supporting low-volume return lings using the HMRC web site
The system performs validations in accordance with HMRC guidelines, and supports automatic transmission through the
Government Gateway using SAP Exchange Infrastructure.
Prerequisites
You have
Implemented SAP Note 1047161, and con gure the XI by following the instructions given to you in the
CIS_300_XI_Con guration document attached to the Note.
If you have low volume of data, you can enter the data manually on the web site of HMRC. To be able to do this, create a list
output variant as described in Creating List Output Variants.
Activities
To trigger the new CIS-speci c functionality, you must run the Generic Withholding Tax Reporting report (RFIDYYWT), with
process type CIS300. You can con gure various output groups with this process type, to obtain different output options
(File/Form/List).
We recommend that you rst run the report as a Test Run. This option is available under Numberings and Updating in the
selection screen of the report. In this case, the report performs all CIS reporting-speci c validations for the master data
in a test mode, populates the error list. Correct all messages that start with E. You perform this task to ensure that the
generated les contain no validation errors.
To create the le, deselect the Test Run indicator and execute the report once again.
Use list layout variants 1SAP_CIS300 for list formatting, so that the ALV list contains the data necessary for ling at
HMRC site.
