• Key Concepts: 
   Flat withholding tax is a type of tax that is withheld from payments made to suppliers or customers. It is a form of indirect taxation, meaning that the tax is collected by the payer and then passed on to the government. The amount of tax withheld depends on the country and the type of transaction. In SAP, flat withholding tax is managed through the FS-CD Collections/Disbursements component. 
  
  How to use it: 
   Flat withholding tax can be set up in SAP by creating a withholding tax code in the FS-CD Collections/Disbursements component. This code will determine the rate of withholding tax that will be applied to payments made to suppliers or customers. The withholding tax code can also be used to determine which transactions are subject to withholding tax and which are not.
