E-Business Tax Setup: Setting Up TCA Geography Hierarchy

Platform: R12

E-Business Tax TCA Geography Hierarchy

In case taxes are levied at a level lower than country level (example at province level) or tax characteristics vary at a level lower than country level, TCA Geography hierarchy must be defined.

TCA Geography hierarchy much be set for each country where there is a tax requirement. The TCA geography hierarchy provides a single reference source for all geographical and location-based information for all E-Business Suite applications.

TCA Geography must be set-up before you can define the following tax-related setups:

-          Legal Entities and Establishments

-          Tax Zones

-          Tax Regimes

-          Taxes

-          Tax Jurisdictions

-          Tax Rules

Use TCA Administration to maintain the following aspects of Geography hierarchy:

-          Country Structure

-          Geography Types

-          Address Validations



In our case we are not using TCA Geography Hierarchy as we have only one tax levied at country level.
