This report lets you reconcile period-end taxable account balances to tax amounts. Only accounted transactions are listed in this report.

The Tax Reconciliation by Taxable Account Report helps you:

  • Reconcile period-end taxable account balances.

The summarization level options for the report are:

  • Taxable account: Displays transactions by taxable account and tax rate code. The report prints totals for each tax rate code within an account and for each account.

  • Tax rate code: Displays transactions by tax rate code and taxable account. The report prints totals for each account within a tax rate code and for each tax rate code.

Note: The predefined template provides you with a report that orders transactions by tax rate code and taxable account.

The accounting segment range provides you with the ability to report transactions with taxable lines posted on the account within the segment range. Specify the currency to limit the report to only transactions in that currency.

You can order the information by invoice and tax rate code, and also group data by reporting period, tax code and tax rate.

Report Parameters

The following table lists selected report parameters common to the tax reconciliation and audit reports:

Parameter

Description

Reporting Level

Choose the level on which you want to run the report. You can choose from three different levels, Ledger, Legal Entity, and Tax Registration Number.

Reporting Context

Specify the context for the report. The list of values for this parameter depends on the reporting level you selected.

  • If you select the reporting level of Legal Entity, you select the legal entity on which to report, and optionally select the tax registration number. By entering a tax registration number in the Tax Registration Number parameter, you report only on a subset of transactions that are entered for a specific legal reporting unit associated with the tax registration number.

    Run the report for a tax registration number to report on the transactions entered for legal entities that share the same tax registration number. This is also known as tax group registration.

  • If you select Ledger as the reporting level, you can report on legal entities associated with ledgers defined in the ledger set or data access set within your security profile. Run tax reports by ledger when you want to review your tax activity as it aligns with your accounting.

    Run tax reports by ledger when you need to view tax activity in a currency other than the currency of the ledger or the currencies of the transactions.

Tax Registration Number

Enter a tax registration number that is assigned to the legal reporting unit, when the reporting level is Legal Entity.

Tax Point Date

Include the transactions for the date range specified.

Tax point date is the date on which the taxpayer becomes liable for paying the tax to the tax authority.
