To support the Ecovalue rate, the ERP allows to handle this scheme on the editors and create all documents necessary based on the ecovalue, ensuring its compliance with the tax obligations.

Context

Ecovalue is a rate that the producer or importer pays for the placement of their goods on the market. Using this rate is intended to encourage you to place products with environmental impact on the market, for which you are partially responsible.

The ecovalue environmental fee is a one-off fee paid by producers and importers to the managing body.

In turn, it's up to producers and importers to charge this cost to distributors, and these to the end customer, in order to highlight the joint responsibility of the different entities involved in the waste life cycle. Only this way, the knowledge of the application of the ecovalue can be passed on in a transparent and informative way.

This way, in order for the management system implementation to be assumed and recognized by the entire economic cycle, the ecovalue value must be highlighted clearly and individualized in each sales invoice, as referred on the sub-paragraph b) of no.3, attachment II of the Decree No. 572/2001, of June 6.

Handle the ecovalue on the editors

Handling the ecovalue on the Purchases and Sales editors consists in adding to the item value, the Ecovalue defined in its file, on the tab Waste.

However, this behavior is not applicable to documents of the Financial type without the option to link to stocks active, because it is considered that for the purpose of adjusting invoicing amounts (for example, Credit Notes or Debit). If you wish to return an item subject to Ecovalue, you must use a document of the Financial type with Link to stocks.

As far as the VAT rate to be applied to the Ecovalue, the application considers the same VAT rate as the transitioned good.

According to APECA (Portuguese Association of Accounting and Administration Companies), the VAT rate to be applied to the Ecovalue should be the same as the transitioned good.

Create documents subject to ecovalue

As described in the b) sub-paragraph b) of no.3, attachment II of the Decree No. 572/2001, of June 6, all purchase and sales document invoices must be subject to the ecovalue. This ecovalue should be constant throughout the entire commercial chain.

To create documents subject to ecovalue, follow these steps:

  1. Configure the editor so that it is possible to specify the ecovalue;
  2. Identify the items subject to ecovalue and, if necessary, specify the waste that make them up;
  3. Add the items to the document and specify the ecovalue. This procedure is only valid if the item has no associated waste;
  4. Click Save.

When saving the document, the ecovalue is added to the ecovalue total. This value must necessarily be specified on the invoice.

See documents ecovalue

This exploration allows to see all documents with items subject to ecovalue on its rows, that is, only documents affected by the ecovalue are presented.

To see the ecovalue total and the waste associated to the document items, follow these steps:

  1. Access [Marketing & Sales / Purchases] | Tax Obligations | Goods Transactions | Ecovalue | Ecovalues Analysis;
