CNIPT tax management

Manage your tax Taxe Comité National Interprofessionnel de la Pomme de Terre

Are you involved in the potato industry and subject to CNIPT dues, which are used to finance all of the Interprofession's activities?

Are you an intermediary who sells to French traders and needs to take into account the value of the CNIPT tax on your invoices, in accordance with the interprofessional agreement?

With the "Taxe CNIPT" app, integrate the CNIPT contribution on your invoices and calculate it automatically.

The installation of this Trade app, dedicated to the potato industry, enables you to : 

  • Include a CNIPT tax line on your invoices  
  • Automatically calculate the amount before tax and the VAT applied to this tax based on the quantities sold

The app allows you to designate and apply the fee for invoicing to "traders". It then integrates into invoices (and only invoices or self-bills) the portion of the CNIPT levy collected and deducted from the sale.

1. CNIPT tax settings

Once the app is installed, go to the app's "Settings" tab to set : 

  • The amount of tax applied per tonne of product: €0.95 excluding VAT for the 2019-2020 period, for example
  • The accounting code for sales and purchase contributions excluding VAT

Installing the app also adds a new VAT (CNIPT VAT).
To set the VAT accounting code for the CNIPT contribution, go to the VAT accounts configuration panel (Configuration > Export and import data > Chart of accounts).

When exporting invoices or purchases to "comptablePlus", they will contain the following additional lines and their associated accounting codes: 

  • Amount excl. tax CNIPT membership fee
  • VAT amount CNIPT

2. Configuration of products subject to CNIPT tax

To display the CNIPT tax automatically when calling up a product on an invoice, you must first have set up the application of this tax. This is managed at product category level.

To do this: 

  • Go to the list of product categories (sales > product catalog > categories)
  • Click on the name of the product category for which CNIPT Tax applies
  • On the category form, indicate "yes" for the "is subject to CNIPT tax" field.

For any item belonging to this category, a new CNIPT contribution line will automatically appear on Invoices.

3. Invoice generation with CNIPT tax

When adding an item subject to CNIPT contribution to one of your invoices, the software will automatically add :

  • A product line, called CNIPT Tax, which calculates the value of the contribution, based on the quantities of products marketed.
  • A line detailing the amount of CNIPT VAT in the Total block

This information, which is deducted from the invoice, is also included on the invoice PDF.

The quotation does not contain the tax value, but converting a quotation into an invoice (or quotation > BL > invoice) automatically applies the tax value to the invoice.
