Responsibility: E-Business Tax Manager
(N) Tax Managers > Advanced Setup Options > Tax Determining Factor Sets > (B) Create Use the Create Tax Determining Factor Set page to set up a tax determining factor set. The tax determining factor set groups together related tax determining factors for use in tax rules determination and tax regime determination. Tax Rules
Associate a tax determining factor set with a rule type to use in the creation of tax rules for the rule type. Tax determining factors are the building blocks in the creation of tax conditions for each tax rule.
You associate one determining factor set with each tax rule to create the tax condition sets for the tax rule. You can maintain and reuse a tax determining factor set that you create for one rule with another rule for a different tax or a different rule type, where requirements are identical. You can also reuse a tax determining factor set within the same rule type for a
different condition set. You can set up determining factor sets in advance to use with tax rules, or set up a determining factor set during the creation of a tax rule. Regime Determination

Part 2: Setting Up Tax Rules
Chapter 8 - Page 18
Associate a regime determination set with a combination of configuration owner and
application event class to identify tax regimes and candidate taxes on transactions belong to this configuration owner and application event class.
Tax regime determination is the first step in the tax determination process. A regime
determination set differs from tax rule determining factor sets in that the determining factors are location types only. E-Business Tax compares the location types in the active regime determination set to the locations specified on the transaction to identify the countries associated with each location and the tax regimes associated with each country.
Note: By default, E-Business Tax provides a seeded regime determination set for all Payables and Receivables transactions for all configuration owners. This regime determination set considers all location types (except Paying Location) to look for applicable tax regimes on a transaction. In most cases, you create alternative regime determination sets for specific
configuration owners and application event class combinations in order to narrow the number of location types that E-Business Tax evaluates to derive eligible tax regimes. This increases regime determination efficiency for the related transactions.

Tax Determination Set Setup for Tax Rules
Tax Determination Set Setup for Tax Rules
Before you can set up determining factor sets for tax rules, you may need to complete one or more of these tasks. Prerequisites
? Set up tax regimes, if you intend to create a determining factor set for use with a specific tax regime, or if you intend to use a fiscal classification determining factor class that requires a tax regime assignment.
? Set up ledgers, if you intend to use the Accounting determining factor class. The ledger accounting segments become available for use as tax condition values.
? Set up TCA geography hierarchy structures, if you intend to use the Geography determining factor class.
? Set up TCA party classifications, if you intend to use the Party Fiscal Classification or Legal Party Fiscal Classification determining factor class.
? Set up party tax profiles, if you intend to use the Registration determining factor class. ? Set up fiscal classifications, if you intend to use a determining factor class related to fiscal classifications.
? Set up tax classification codes, if you intend to use the Transaction Input Factor determining factor class for tax classification codes.
