MODCHQCF - NATIONAL CONFIGURATION Ó UNCTAD - SITE (V1.15) 8.13 Licence This function is not implemented at present. Taxation Standards This  function  allows  the  definition  of  Global  and  Item  taxation  rules,  the  Tariff  layout  and  Column Rule definition and the definition of the rules for the valuation note segments of the declaration. See Appendix A for detailed advice on the steps involved in building a National Taxation structure using ASYCUDA++. Global and Item Taxation While  Global  and  Item  taxation  functions  are  similar,  they  display  calculated  charges  in  different positions   within   the   declaration.   Global   taxes   are   charged   on   the   declaration   as   a   whole, independent of the item detail on the declaration, such as the Commodity Codes or the item values. The  ‘computer  processing’  charge  is  a  good  example,  where  an  administration  can  impose  a charge  for  processing  a  declaration.  The  total  of  Global  taxes  calculated  for  the  declaration  are displayed as “Total fees”  within the ‘Accounting details’ area of the SAD. Item Taxation is usually linked to item details, such as Commodity Codes, values or quantities, but independent of the normal Tariff structure or procedure codes. It provides extra flexibility in taxation measures. When Item taxation applies it is calculated by the system and displayed under it’s own code but with the other ‘normal’ taxes, within box 47 of the SAD, ‘Calculation of taxes’. An example Global Taxation Rule is displayed in the screen following: Global Taxation Rules Fig 8.6 MODCHQCF: Functions: Taxation Standards: Global Taxation rules: Edit Rule. Global Taxation Rules The Global taxation rules specify the calculation of charges that apply to the whole declaration and not  just  to  the  individual  items.  For  example,  these  could  include  a  flat  rate  charge  per  entry  or  a charge based on the total of the duties and taxes on all of the items on the declaration. See the 'Taxation rules editor' window in the previous example screen print.
