In Germany, hotel receipts often include multiple VAT rates within a single line item, requiring travelers to manually itemize these expenses to ensure correct VAT calculation. If not itemized, finance teams must return expenses for corrections, leading to delays and frustration.
Concur Expense streamlines this process with the new Total Net Amount field in expense entries, enabling automatic VAT calculations and itemization. Additionally, ExpenseIt now supports extracting the Total Net Amount from German hotel receipts.
This new feature will be available mainly for Hotel expenses, but can be applied to all expense types that may involve a Multi-VAT scenario in Germany. It will apply exclusively to domestic expenses and is available for SAP Concur Professional Edition customers only.
How will your organization benefit?
- Tax Reclaims: Accurate VAT computation in multi-VAT scenarios
- Reimbursements: Reduces report send back leading to faster reimbursement cycles
- Processing Efficiencies: Streamlines and speeds the traveler and processor experience
Note
- Customers without ExpenseIt: They need to manually enter a value in the Total Net Amount field as shown on the receipt for multi-VAT functionality to work.
- Customers with ExpenseIt: If ExpenseIt is unable to recognize the total net amount value from the receipt, this value must be entered manually by the end user for multi-VAT functionality to work.
- Customers will need to enable the Total Net Amount field and configure the expense types that this new feature should apply to.
