Differential taxation with the eCommerce ERP system Xentral for used goods – This is what dealers have to consider!

Not every eCommerce ERP system can ensure differential taxation for used goods, coins or electrical goods. One ERP system that can do it is Xentral. But what do you have to consider when it comes to differential taxation? Benedikt Sauter (CEO Xentral) gives you a short overview in this video based on the eCommerce ERP system Xentral.

Differential taxation for used articles

Do you sell used goods, like old smartphones or coins? Then you have to worry about the differential taxation. The difference taxation is basically about this: As an online merchant, you only have to calculate the sales tax for the difference between the purchase price and the sales price. In order to use this advantage for yourself, you need a corresponding structure that can map this. The following factors also play a role here, such as: Do you have your own part numbers for the devices? Or do you have only one item number that you use for several products, e.g. used and new? And Xentral can deal with all these questions and provide you with answers accordingly.

Xentral can map differential taxation

Xentral is an innovative web-based ERP system that makes it easy to import orders and automate order processing. Because Xentral synchronizes all your sales channels and manages and controls your data centrally. Already when ordering the goods, you can enter in Xentral whether the difference should be taxed or not. For example, if you work with serial numbers for end devices, Xentral can assign the price to the goods when they are purchased and integrate it into workflows. Serial numbers are thus recorded via the goods receipt in order to correctly fill the differential taxation tables. In order for the differential taxation to be recorded correctly, a system must always know when the item was purchased and at what price, which serial number is present and also at what price it was resold.

Item condition must be marked as used

It is also important that all the information on the document is properly represented. So that everything conforms to the standard that the tax office also requires. Another item that needs to be mapped correctly is the export to your tax software. This is because extended posting records are required here, which are posted to the corresponding revenue accounts. The further challenge when selling used goods is no longer about the tax background, but about the right listing on your respective sales platform. For example, both Amazon and eBay have their own item states that you need to match with the item. In any case, your customer must be clearly shown that this is a used item or B-goods.

A total package of combinations

With Xentral you can maintain your item attributes pretty easily to pass them to your marketplaces. Define free fields and properties depending on the item number. And also define the states so that the differential taxation works without problems. Not every eCommerce ERP system can map a topic like differential taxation. A good system is defined by a total package of combinations. And Xentral can implement both fiscal background and item states. Furthermore, Xentral can still implement the differential taxation even if you own a stationary store in addition to the online trade and sell used goods there. With Xentral’s integrated point-of-sale system, data is recorded properly and reported correctly for tax purposes.
