What's a tax reporting unit?

Use a tax reporting unit to group workers for the purpose of tax and social insu
rance reporting. A tax reporting unit is the
Oracle Fusion Human Capital Management (HCM) version of the legal reporting unit
in Oracle Fusion Applications.
To create a tax reporting unit, you use the Oracle Fusion Legal Entity Configura
tor to define a legal entity as a payroll statutory
unit. When you identify a legal entity as a payroll statutory unit, the applicat
ion transfers the legal reporting units that are

associated with that legal entity to Oracle Fusion HCM as tax reporting units. Y
ou can then access the tax reporting unit using
the Manage Legal Reporting Unit HCM Information task.
If you identify a legal entity as a legal employer, and not as a payroll statuto
ry unit, you must enter a parent payroll statutory
unit. The resulting legal reporting units are transferred to Oracle Fusion HCM a
s tax reporting units, but as children of the
parent payroll statutory unit that you entered, and not the legal entity that yo
u identified as a legal employer.
What's a payroll statutory unit?
Payroll statutory units are legal entities that are responsible for paying worke
rs, including the payment of payroll tax and social
insurance. A payroll statutory unit can pay and report on payroll tax and social
insurance on behalf of one or many legal
entities, depending on the structure of your enterprise. For example, if you are
a multinational, multiple company enterprise,
then you register a payroll statutory unit in each country where you employ and
pay people. You can optionally register a
consolidated payroll statutory unit to pay and report on workers across multiple
legal employers within the same country. You
associate a legislative data group with a payroll statutory unit to provide the
correct payroll information for workers.
What's a legal employer?
A legal employer is a legal entity that employs workers. You define a legal enti
ty as a legal employer in the Oracle Fusion Legal
Entity Configurator.
The legal employer is captured at the work relationship level, and all employmen
t terms and assignments within that
relationship are automatically with that legal employer. Legal employer informat
ion for worker assignments is also used for
reporting purposes.
What's a reporting establishment?
A reporting establishment is an organization that is used for statutory reportin
g other than tax and social insurance reporting.
A reporting establishment has a parent-child relationship with a legal employer,
with the legal employer being the parent
organization. A legal employer can be the parent of multiple reporting establish
ments. You create reporting establishments
using the Manage Legal Reporting Unit HCM Information task in the Setup and Main
tenance work area.
In some countries, such as France, a reporting establishment can also be a tax r
eporting unit.
Can I delete an organization?
No you can't. However, you can disable an organization if it's no longer require
d. For example, if the enterprise is downsizing,
then you can set the status of the organization to inactive. Changing the status
 of the organization disables the organization
and the organization is no longer available to select.
How can I identify my organization in a report?
Use the organization manager information to enter a reporting name to help you i
dentify an organization in a report. You use
organization hierarchies for statutory, legal and management reporting.

You can also create locations to enter the addresses of external organizations t
hat you want to maintain, such as employment
agencies, tax authorities, and insurance or benefits carriers.
The locations that you create exist as separate structures that you can use for
reporting purposes, and in rules that determine
employee eligibility for various types of compensation and benefits. You enter i
nformation about a location only once.
Subsequently, when you set up other workforce structures you select the location
from a list.
Location Sets
When you create a location, you must associate it with a set. Only those users w
ho have access to the set's business unit
can access the location set and other associated workforce structure sets, such
as those that contain departments and jobs.
Note the following:
You can also associate the location to the common set so that users across your
enterprise can access the location
irrespective of their business unit.
When users search for locations, they can see the locations that they have acces
s to along with the locations in the
common set.
The following figure shows how locations sets restrict access to users.
