Tax Roles

Tax Roles represent the ongoing obligations of a given tax type within an account at a given point in time. It may be also be thought of as the reason a taxpayer must interact with the revenue authority, or one of the taxpayer's relationships with the revenue authority.

Tax roles include the dates that the tax is effective. If you consider a business, some tax types are required for the entire time a company is in business, such as corporate income tax. Other tax types may only be in effect if the company is engaging in certain activities, which may change over time.
