TaxAuthority Entity

[su2]

Hi All,

In TaxAuthority Entity, I see NY_UTF, CA_BOE and UT_TAXMAN(any state except NY & CA). Why do we have 3 different names after the underscore "_" ?. What does UTF, BOE & TAXMAN stands for?

Your help is really appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi su2,
If you see the records in the party entity of the same party, they all are
of type PartyGroups in role of TAX_AUTHORITY.
Here the partyId field (pk in Party entity) is self explain its purpose, The
first half is the state name and another half is the company name (not
exactly but we can say).
Now the key says that company in which state. If you see the relationship of
the TaxAuthority then its PK is composite key of the geoId and partyId from
the Geo and Party entity. Finally we can say that, These are the partyIds
which are doing business in particular state.

Hope it helps !!!

Shuchi,

The field you are talking about is taxAuthPartyId.  So, NY_DTF, CA_BOE and
UT_TAXMAN are partyId's for PartyGroups corresponding to the Government
entity responsibly for taxation in that particular state.  For example, the
government entity which does taxation in New York (NY) is Department of Tax
and Finance (DTF), which explains the term NY_DTF.  Similarly, Board of
Equalization (BOE) is responsible for taxation in California (CA), hence
CA_BOE.

Hi Rishi,

Thank you for your explanation.

So that means let say I create/change NY partyID in Party Entity from NY_DTF to NY_ABC, and changing  taxAuthPartyId  in TaxAuthority entitiy to NY_ABC, there should not be any issue right? (what I understood is, its just the matter of how we name partyID in Party Entity. Correct?)

Thanks.

Perfect Mridul, Thank you so much. It is clear now. And I suppose for other states its TAXMAN as generic name.

Thank you.
