  Key Concepts: 
  Flat-rate taxation is a method of taxation used by SAP in its Financial and Travel and Expense Management (SRD-FIN-ERM FIN-Travel and Expense Management) component. It is a simplified form of taxation that applies a single rate to all taxable income, regardless of the amount. This rate is usually lower than the progressive tax rate that would otherwise be applied. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Flat-rate taxation can be used to reduce the amount of taxes paid on income. It is especially useful for businesses with low or fluctuating income, as it allows them to pay a consistent rate regardless of their income level. To use flat-rate taxation, businesses must first determine their taxable income and then calculate the applicable flat-rate tax rate. This rate can then be applied to the taxable income to determine the amount of taxes due. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using flat-rate taxation, it is important to ensure that all applicable taxes are taken into account. Additionally, businesses should keep track of any changes in the applicable flat-rate tax rate, as this could affect the amount of taxes due.
