Run tax declaration report

Run the corporate tax declaration report for the quarter ending March 31 and export the detailed tax base per legal entity. Include the consolidated tax adjustments worksheet, save the output as TaxDeclaration_Q1_March31.xlsx, and send the file to Lina in tax and Diego in compliance for review by Monday. Verify that all intercompany eliminations are applied before exporting.

Before I hand this tax declaration to tax, make the report reviewer-friendly: put the total tax liability and effective tax rate on the first sheet, surface any non-deductible expense over 10,000, and flag jurisdictions with deferred tax movements. Make it easy for Lina to sign off without digging through five tabs.

I generated the quarterly tax declaration and there is a single non-deductible expense of 78,000 skewing the tax base for our Benelux entity. The controller swears there’s no such transaction in the GL. I can’t tell whether the tax engine misclassified an expense or an intercompany booking wasn’t eliminated. What diagnostics should I run first to isolate if this is a classification issue or an elimination error, and what is the quickest corrective step to present to tax?

Every quarter tax sends back a list of manual adjustments after I export the declaration, and we end up reconciling by email with deadlines slipping. Which three process changes or pre-export checks would prevent these recurring late adjustments and make the quarterly declaration release predictable?
