[AU] Datasets - reports - tax report

Article Objective: To assist users in navigating the Active Platform with generating a tax report to help compile the income tax return information for the entity in a binder. 


Context: Taxonomy is the categorisation of accounts into specific sections of the tax return, i.e. for the Accounts Receivable account, the taxonomy is: asset, current asset, trade debtors. This means this figure will populate into the asset, current asset and trade debtors line in the tax return worksheet.  


Please refer to the Glossary for definitions of key terms used in this article.  



Generating a tax report

Select the relevant dataset, navigate to the Reports screen and click on the Tax Report tab.           

  


This will simply show the account number, account name, taxonomy and balance of each account. If you have selected to categorise certain accounts as primary production or non-taxable, they will also populate in here. See the knowledge article: Accounts - overview for more information on how to do this.  


Using the tax return worksheet

When in the binder, click Accept on the 'Company Tax Return' worksheet. The name of this worksheet will vary depending on whether you are completing work for a company, trust or partnership.   



Once accepted, the worksheet will populate and open, as below.

In most cases, depending on which worksheets you have added and completed in your binder, they will automatically prefill. For example, if you were to add and complete a losses worksheet, these figures would pre-populate into their respective lines in the losses information section of the tax return worksheet.
