Country by country reporting
Be in control of the entire process – from collection to XML filing
What is it all about
With a large number of entities in many countries it is difficult to be in control of changes to the entity structure and changes in business activities. Furthermore, it is necessary to collect not only the mandatory figures required by the OECD, but you also need to collect additional figures. The additional figures are needed to ensure that you have data that can explain risks which might be identified by the tax authorities from only analyzing the OECD mandatory figures. In addition, you need an analysis tool that allows you to perform the same screening as the tax authorities will do, based on the OECD handbook on effective tax risk assessment.
