Compare tax assessments with the tax return
Tax advisers check tax assessment notices for discrepancies
Fits: Finance & accounting · Legal & compliance
Every discrepancy between the tax return and the assessment notice is in one table, including those the tax office does not explain. The firm decides earlier within the objection period and with less searching.
Is this for you?
- You regularly check many tax office assessment notices, e.g. for income tax, corporation tax or VAT, or trade tax base assessments.
- Tax returns and assessment notices are available digitally, ideally as electronic assessment data in the firm’s software.
- You have a tool that is approved for client data, or you test with made-up cases.
Recreate a small case with made-up figures and without name, tax number and address, e.g. five items from the tax return and the assessment notice with an explanation from the tax office. Use the template below to have it compared, and compare the table with your usual review note.
How to go about it
- Define checkpoints for assessment notices
- Bring the tax return and the assessment notice together
- Set up the comparison
- Pass unclear discrepancies to the adviser
- File an objection or accept the discrepancy with reasons
- Add typical cuts to the checklist
