3. • A Brief Guide to Tax Management Processes In today’s business world,
managing the processes that deal with tax management can be complicated,
primarily if your company works in more than one state or has more than
one location. Your business may also be dealing with Tax in other ways,
such as making sure that you’re filing in all of the suitable locations and
keeping up with changing tax laws. The most important thing to remember
about the tax management process is that no matter how you need to
handle it for your business, several steps need to happen each time—these
are generally known as the process of tax management.
What Is The Purpose Of Tax
Management?
• The purpose of the tax management process is to keep a company out of
legal trouble with tax authorities. Tax management also includes keeping an
eye on accounting information that can show a positive picture for tax
reporting and keeping employees up-to-date on upcoming changes in tax
law. The primary source of information for managing Tax figures is usually
the group’s accounting system and the financial reporting process,
including Tax. But, as we have seen from Figure 9, there are alternative
means available for communicating financial information from subsidiary
undertakings to head office to ensure timely data exchange.
4. • Other resources involved include input from senior people who work in Tax or Finance or even
finance managers. In practice, it is customary to designate a specific individual responsible for
carrying out all these activities plus others, such as providing advice on tax implications when
significant issues arise. Importantly they will need experience in watching tax developments at
both national and EU levels together with knowledge of their Tax position together with what
needs to be done – if anything – about it. It may also be necessary, depending upon
organizational structure, for one person to act as the liaison between tax managers and
departmental heads so that everyone concerned knows precisely where they stand regarding any
matter which could affect or involve Tax.
Types Of Taxes
• Each type of Tax has its tax management process. It would be best to abode by each country’s tax
laws, so make sure you understand what you are responsible for and how it should be paid.
Usually, if you fail to pay your taxes on time or incorrectly, there are penalties. Furthermore, even
if your income is taxed at a specific rate in your country, it may still be subject to additional taxes
when transferred into another country.
• For example, if you have funds sitting in foreign bank accounts that are not being used for
investments or living expenses, extra taxes may be imposed on those funds called Withholding
Taxes. These withholding taxes are designed to prevent individuals from taking their money out
of their home countries without paying appropriate income taxes first. If you do not pay these
taxes before transferring your money overseas, you will be liable for them once they are found.
5. • More severe consequences could arise if they accumulate over time due to
an incorrect filing of paperwork, such as fines or prison sentences. When
working with an accountant, tax lawyer, or financial advisor, it is essential
to inform them about any overseas assets under personal names or
company names held in bank accounts. That way, they can help organize
information properly to avoid any future complications when declaring tax
amounts.
Key Components
• Corporate income tax is one of three significant taxes imposed by
governments (local, state, federal). The other two are sales tax and property
tax. Corporate income tax serves as a primary source of revenue for local
governments. Property tax has three main components: personal property,
real estate, and intangible assets such as intellectual property. Sales tax is
usually applied to goods (and sometimes services) produced within a given
jurisdiction; services are often exempt. Companies pay income tax to
various levels of government in many countries around the world. This list
provides information on corporate tax rates. Many companies are taxed on
their net profit, defined differently according to each country’s tax laws.
According to these laws, income that should be taxed can be reduced by
allowable deductions—for example, allowances for debts paid or accrued
during production periods.
6. Risk Assessment
• Every group should perform some level of risk assessment to protect both their
financial assets and their reputation. Risk is subjective, but common types of bets
include loss of shareholder value (both immediate and long-term), business
interruption, financial fraud/loss/theft, compliance violations (which can result in
fines or prosecution), and reputational damage.
• When considering your risks, you’ll want to consider not only your direct exposures
but also any potential downstream impacts; for example, if you’re operating
internationally or across state lines, there’s a good chance that something will happen
out of your control. That makes risk management particularly challenging; you need
to understand what you face and how it might affect your overall business goals.
• A primary tool used in managing risk is insurance, which helps mitigate damages
associated with specific events. But having insurance doesn’t guarantee success;
instead, you have to plan appropriately in advance so that when disaster strikes, your
company still has enough time and capital on hand to recover quickly. Most large
groups use outside consultants for help with the planning and management of
various risks. Most external auditors are also tasked with performing periodic risk
assessments—although technically, they aren’t supposed to be providing advice about
managing specific risks.
