Account Payables - Withholding Tax
Withholding tax is the amount withheld by the party making a payment to another (payee) and paid to the taxation authorities. The amount the payer deducts may vary, depending on the nature of the product or service being paid for. The payee is assessed on the gross amount, and the tax to be withheld (the withholding tax) is computed in that assessment.
The purpose of
withholding tax is to facilitate or accelerate collection, by collecting tax
from payers rather than a much greater number of payees, and by collecting tax
from payers within the jurisdiction rather than payees who may be outside the
jurisdiction.

Include Income Tax
Type on Withholding Distributions. If you enable this option then you can
report on federal income tax withheld (MISC4) for 1099 suppliers.
When this option is enabled, then when Payables
automatically creates distributions of type Withholding Tax for 1099 reportable
suppliers, Payables automatically provides the following values:
Income Tax Type value of MISC4.
Income Tax Region value, if the Combined Filing Payables
option is enabled.
Note: Payables
provides these values only for distributions it creates automatically. If you
create a Withholding Tax distribution manually, then you need to enter these
values manually.
When you enable this option, Payables initiates the Update
1099 Withholding Tax Distributions program, which updates these values on
existing Withholding Tax distributions. The program selects distributions to
update as follows:
If the current date is before March 1 of the current
calendar year then the program updates distributions with a payment date of
January 1 of the previous calendar year or later.
If the current date is March 1 of the current calendar year
or later, then the program updates distributions that have a payment date of
January 1 of the current year or later

To enter a basic invoice:
1. In the Invoices window choose Standard or Mixed for the invoice Type.

same supplier.
Suggestion:
You may want to use an invoice numbering convention that minimizes the risk of separate entries of the same invoice under different invoice numbers. For example, if you consistently enter alphanumeric invoice numbers in upper case you would enter an invoice number only as ABC123, and not also as abc123.
Enter the full Invoice Amount including tax, freight and miscellaneous charges.
6. Enter the Description of your invoice. This will appear on your payment document and may appear in your general ledger.
7. Enter distributions automatically by entering a Distribution Set, or choose the Distributions button and enter the distributions manually.
