A tax authority may want to suppress activity on a taxpayer's account for a number of different reasons. In some cases it is a matter of internal policy, where the tax authority suppresses certain activities while processing an appeal or audit case. In other instances, it may be a statutory requirement imposed by the regulations surrounding a process initiated externally, such as a bankruptcy proceeding.
Some common types of activities that may be suppressed are penalty and interest calculation, overdue processing and overpayment processing. Levels of suppression can be large or small, encompassing a specific account, a tax role or a single obligation. Suppressions may be initiated and released manually or created and released automatically by other processes.
A suppression object is used to capture the specific entities and processes that are subject to a given suppression event.
