Tax Audits of Computerised Accounting Systems & Online Procedures
It is a well known fact that the tax authorities have clamped down on tax audits of computerised accounting systems. Their specialist inspectors are increasingly prone to take a standardised approach to their audits and to make an automatic tax assessment when necessary. As the tax authorities have extensive powers of investigation, companies are well advised to ensure that their accounting systems comply with prevailing tax regulations. Similarly, the reduced thresholds for online declarations and payment forces companies to become equipped with the necessary tools for these new tax obligations.
