Tax Control Accounts

Tax Accounts shows how the selected company's tax ledger purposes point to general ledger accounts.

Concepts

Tax explains tax authorities, rules, components, filing, and posting.
What Is a Financial Ledger? explains immutable ledger records.
Control Accounts explains the tax-to-GL mapping.

Selecting the data

The screen lists tax purposes, linked GL accounts, required account types, and posting state. The effective mapping reflects the company's financial settings.

Reading the detail

Use the mapping to understand where collected, paid, payable, receivable, and adjustment tax amounts appear in the GL. Country setup determines the tax rules; this page shows the posting destinations.

Making changes

Open a control account and select an active GL account of the displayed type. Tax on Sales requires a Liability account; Tax on Purchases requires an Asset account. Posted mappings and organization-standard mappings are read-only.

Refresh and export

Refresh before relying on recently posted activity. Export where the screen offers it, and record the selected company and filters with any output used as evidence.

Corrections

This is an enquiry screen. Do not try to alter a ledger result here. Correct the source setup where appropriate, or post a supported correcting document or reversal so the financial and audit histories remain complete.
