Benefit from an intelligent,
comprehensive process
The old ways of handling excise taxes—for example, manual
adjustments, siloed processes, and inflexible reporting
tools—are simply too costly, inefficient, and error-prone.
Missing just one tax-relevant material movement or making
a tax-calculation mistake can lead to a costly penalty.
The SAP Excise Tax Management solution by Vistex,
a solution extension for SAP Cloud ERP solutions, helps
address the complexities of excisable goods. It lets you
centrally manage excise tax–relevant master data,
track the movement of excisable goods, and automatically
calculate tax amounts. The result is improved accuracy and
efficiency and lower costs associated with reporting, data
management, compliance, and audits.
Instead of highly aggregated,
infrequent compliance reporting,
governments are adopting more
frequent access to granular data,
even at the transactional level.
How will you stay compliant as
more niche excise taxes emerge
worldwide and enforcement
becomes more stringent?

You can’t manage what you can’t see. That’s why SAP Excise
Tax Management integrates with SAP Cloud ERP to extend its
master data framework. This enables you to create and
maintain a comprehensive repository of excise tax–specific
master data—including metrics, product classifications, tax
types, rates, and exemptions—in concert with the ERP solution.
Imagine being able to:
• Define stock-ledger groups and movement types to help
ensure proper booking of excise taxes
• Set up and administer tax requirements such as tax rates,
tax types, and settlement quantities
• Support data accuracy and consistency using controlled
validation and governance processes
This functionality improves the data quality of excise taxes
while helping reduce data management costs and downstream
calculation risks. At the same time, you can tightly integrate
with the excise tax management solution with other systems
and processes, such as legal reporting to the EU Excise
Movement Control System.

For tax managers, it’s essential to provide an accurate,
auditable trail of material movements to authorities.
SAP Excise Tax Management helps by automatically
identifying and recording material movements subject to
excise tax and capturing them in a stock ledger. As a result,
you have an accurate stock ledger that reflects the excise
tax implications of inventory transactions.
The solution provides a set of predefined rules and
validations to determine excise tax–relevant information
and book it into the stock ledger. You also have the
flexibility to change and enhance rules for stock-ledger
determination to consider company characteristics,
specific rules, and regulations, for example. And when
you need to provide reports to authorities, you can quickly
define views to focus on specific requests or areas of
interest and generate the required outputs. This saves
time and significantly reduces the cost of compliance,
risk management, and audits.
