EDI Data Element Code Lists Specific to Tax Administration

Data Element 817 - Tax Information and Amount Qualifier

The following code series has been agreed upon for use in the Tax Information and Amount Segment (TIA01 -Data Element 817) with EDI Transaction Sets 813 (Electronic Filing of Tax Return Information) and 151 (Acknowledgment to Electronic Filing of Tax Return Information) and associated Transaction Sets (149, 820, 823, 826) by Task Group 2 of the ANSI ASC X12 Government Subcommittee. It is a recommended list. A "series" number is designated for each of the common major tax types employed by the state tax authorities. As new transaction sets are developed, data element coding conventions will be created through TIGERS.

Uniform DE817 code conventions have been established, or are in process for new EDI applications. It is highly recommended that if you are implementing Tax EDI, you determine whether there is an already accepted uniform TIA coding scheme in use. Task Group 2 of ANSI ASC X12G can assist you. Contact Terry Garber, X12G Tax Task Group Chair at garbert@app1.dor.state.sc.us or Jonathan Lyon of FTA at jonathan.lyon@taxadmin.org.

National standard conventions for identification of EDI tax-related data in these series are on this TIA code series as they are developed - including national conventions for Severance tax (through the Petroleum Industry Data Exchange), motor fuel excise tax (through the FTA Motor Fuel Tax Uniformity Committee, motor carrier fuel use tax (though the International Fuel Tax Agreement), and others.

In addition, the Tax Information Group for EDI Requirements Standardization (TIGERS) is addressing Withholding, Sales Tax, and others. See the EDI format mappings on this web site for examples of use of the DE817 codes.
