Tax Calculation
During the imposition of taxation on business activities, necessary tax documents are prepared. Tax documents are documents that reflect the calculation of taxes, the amount of tax, and the amount of tax liability. Tax documents include the following:
- Accounting documents;
- Supporting documents;
- Tax accounting registers;
- Notification.
Accounting documents are documents that reflect the amount of tax liability. Separate declaration forms have been determined for each type of tax. Tax accounting documents, which fulfill their function, are prepared by preparing tax returns and are submitted to the tax authority after being signed by the management and chief accountant of the organization.
Supporting documents are documents based on which the calculation of taxes required for tax calculation is made, which explain them and act as research material. For example, we can show invoices issued by sellers for goods (services, works).
Tax accounting registers are general records and initial tax accounting forms intended for tax returns in enterprises. Information to be reflected in tax accounting and initially accounted documents should be collected and systematized in tax accounting records. After the information for the tax accounting period prepared in tax accounting documents is generalized, this information is submitted to the tax returns.
