Tax accounting algorithm

Introduction

Context

Welcome to the OpenSource Tax accounting Algorithm with Tax Impact Computation wiki page! This platform serves as a comprehensive resource for understanding and implementing a pioneering open-source algorithm specifically designed to compute and prepare the tax proof and the deffered tax report.

Objectives

The objective of this algorithm is to perform tax accounting computations on a dataset from a company, produce the tax proof and/or the deferred tax report. This algorithm allows to run the computation on an arbitrary data structure through the use of labelling systems and gives back the result at the requested level of segmentation.

Feature Overview

The algorithm will present the following features:

• Computation of the tax impact of the temporary differences, per flow;
• Inclusion of Tax losses and tax credits in the computation, with detail;
• Management of Core and Non-core analysis;
• Variable number of Reconciliation steps with configurable origin of the reconciliation;
• Central management of tax rates;
• Availability of a distinct rate basked;
• Compatibility with the Pillar 2 computation;
• Generation of the Tax proof component;
• Generation of the Deferred Tax Report.

Development Program

The Tax accounting algorithl presented in this page is an ongoing work and its documentation on this wiki is also a work in progress. It is by no means complete and definitive, and changes will occur in the upcoming weeks and months.

Both GitHub and MediaWiki are amazing tools to manage collaborative work and track the progress and modifications that happen with time.

The detailed to-do list is presented Tax accounting algorithm development program.

Data structure

Algonomia API Framework

The Tax Accounting Algorithm uses Algonomia API Framework to receive input data and send output data for the computations. In the following sections, it is assumed that data has been transferred to the Tax Accounting Algorithm using this framework.

Input

The input data follows the usual division required by the Algonomia API Framework : Data, Rules, Other.

Computational steps

Data received by the algorithm are processed using the standardized Rule matching methodology. At this stage every single entry contains both the financial data and the rules to be applied.
