Is it possible to create a tax group or code that is 50% non-deductible only for Canada? It looks like it's possible for VAT countries but Canada, a GST country, doesn't have the non-deductible checkbox and the non-deductible tax derived from fields on the tax code record as referenced by help center. Is that really the case?

complete solution is here suiteanswers 62255. I have used it so many times ๐Ÿ Eh!

Thank you! It's embarrassing. I searched help center and google but didn't try SuiteAnswers as I didn't find it that useful in the past few weeks.

I just realized that we have to split the amount into 2 lines (for non-deductible and deductible) in order for it to work. I thought it would be similar to non-deductible input tax setup where we donโ€™t need to split the amount but NS still posts the tax to 2 different accounts. Is this how it really works? Thanks.
s
Yup

oh okay thank you!

Because 50% is an expense and the other part is an asset (money back from the government as ITC)

Yes, that's right. It's just that for our VAT subsidiaries we don't need to split the amount in the transactions. It automatically splits the expense and asset since there are non-deductible related field setup in the tax group/code records.
@Sam-I-Am I am working on that SuiteAnswers article that you shared. Iโ€™m just wondering if you are aware if I can use a different GL account for the non-claimable portion (e.g., meals and entertainment expenses) or am I stuck with the tax control accounts?
