auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 16.0Adds ready-made Belgian eco taxes (BEBAT and RECUPEL) and matching accounts to the Belgian chart of accounts, so you can charge or book these environmental fees on sales and purchases.
This is a data module: it does not add new screens, but it installs tax and account data into the Belgian accounting setup.
When installed on a company using the Belgian chart of accounts, it automatically creates dedicated accounts: RECUPEL Sale (70092), RECUPEL Purchase (60192), BEBAT Sale (70093) and BEBAT Purchase (60193). It also creates an "Eco Taxes" tag used to identify these amounts in reporting.
It loads tax templates for BEBAT and RECUPEL, both for sales (out) and purchases (in). For example, the BEBAT sale tax is a fixed amount of 0.075 per unit, not included in the price, and it posts to the BEBAT Sale account on invoices and to the BEBAT Purchase account on credit notes. The RECUPEL taxes follow the same pattern with their own accounts.
Because these are templates, the taxes and accounts are generated for every company whose chart template is the Belgian one. If generation fails for a company, the module logs an error and continues, so the rest of the installation is not blocked.
Once installed, you simply pick the BEBAT or RECUPEL tax on invoice lines, and Odoo books the eco fee to the correct account automatically.
