Excise duties in SAP S/4HANA
With GQS@tax, duties and excise duties can be mapped efficiently and transparently directly in the SAP S/4HANA system. The solution supports companies in the automated recognition, evaluation and documentation of tax-relevant goods movements, individually tailored to your processes. Excise duties are indirect taxes that are levied on the consumption or use of certain goods and services. These include, for example, alcohol, sugar or CO₂ taxes, as well as duties from the Packaging Ordinance.
Complexity meets competence - excise duties in trade & production
Trade (Trade / Distribution)
Production (CPG / Manufacturing)
EMCS interface - digital connection to the customs system
In the Trade (Retail & Distribution) a large number of excise tax types can be mapped directly and reliably in SAP. The technical implementation is usually straightforward – often the only thing missing is the appropriate forms for the final tax return.
For manufacturing companies, the integration of excise duties is usually more complex, particularly due to the close integration with production and logistics processes. However, this is precisely where one of our strengths lies: With our expertise and our tried-and-tested solutions, such as a specially developed EMCS interface for connecting to the customs system, we support you in efficiently integrating even demanding requirements into SAP S/4HANA.
As part of our GQS@tax solution, we offer our own, fully integrated EMCS (Excise Movement and Control System) interface, the digital connection to the customs administration for the electronic monitoring of excisable goods movements under duty suspension.our EMCS integration in SAP enables companies to create declarations such as e-VD, e-VN or e-Avis quickly, securely and audit-proof directly from the ERP system and transmit them to the authorities, without any media disruptions or additional tools.
