In many countries/regions, a buyer is legally responsible for paying withholding tax. Withholding tax is tax on non-inventory deliveries, or services, that are delivered by a supplier who is not an employee of the company. The supplier submits an invoice for services to the buying company, and then receives payment for this invoice.
The buyer is legally responsible for withholding a certain percentage of the amount of the invoice at the time of payment. The net amount, which is the amount of the invoice minus the withholding tax, is paid to the supplier. The tax that is withheld is posted to a ledger account for withholding tax. This tax is then periodically paid to the tax authorities.
The topics in this section provide information about how to set up withholding tax.
