What is Corporate Tax Reporting?
September 9,
2014
A corporate tax is a levy placed on the profit of a firm to raise taxes.
After operating earnings is calculated by deducting expenses
including the cost of goods sold (COGS) and depreciation from
revenues, enacted tax rates are applied to generate a legal obligation
the business owes the government.

BEPS Reporting
September 9,
2014
Base erosion and profit shifting (BEPS) is a tax
avoidance strategy used by multinational
companies, wherein profits are shifted from
jurisdictions that have high taxes (such as the
United States and many Western European
countries) to jurisdictions that have low (or no)
taxes (so-called tax havens).
