domain in the Common Financial Management functional area.
You can create tax authorities for the jurisdictions where you pay or report on taxes. Example: New York State Department of Taxation and Finance.
  1. Access the
    Create Tax Authority
    task.
  2. As you complete the task, consider:
    Option Description
    Create Tax Authority from Business Entity
    Select a business entity for Workday to add tax authority details to. Once you select a business entity, you can't change it.
    Tax Reporting Currency
    Select the currency to calculate and report taxes for the tax authority. Example: Your company currency is USD, but you report taxes for your European headquarters in EUR. You select EUR.
    You can't change the reporting currency after you create a tax rate for the tax authority.
    Rounding Definition
    Select or create a rounding definition for Workday to round tax amounts:
    • In tax reporting currency for tax reports and tax declarations.
    • In company currency for posting to ledger accounts, when the company currency is the same as the tax reporting currency.
    • In transaction currency for display on taxable documents, when the transaction currency is the same as the tax reporting currency.
    When you don't select a rounding definition, Workday rounds the tax amounts to the nearest currency precision. Example: Workday rounds amounts in EUR to the nearest 2 decimals.
You can:
  • Access the
    Update Tax Authority Logo
    task to upload a logo for this tax authority.
  • Access the
    Create Tax Declaration Run
