Before you beginThis guide follows Accounting and Bookkeeping module version 1.4.5. The required access is Accounting Reports: View. A related screen can remain hidden when an optional module is inactive, a source record is in an ineligible status, the selected account is inactive or the user is not an assigned approver.

What this feature does

Review taxable transactions, totals by tax rate and the resulting tax payable or receivable position. It forms part of Britixo Enterprise CRM's Accounting & Bookkeeping module and uses the module's permission-aware controller, status and mapping flow rather than a generic spreadsheet process.

How the module flow works

The module exposes dedicated Tax Detail, Tax Summary and Tax Liability report actions and dedicated tax mapping settings.

Tax results depend on source tax lines and conversion completeness. A transaction posted directly to a tax account through a manual journal can affect the liability without appearing in source-detail expectations.

Have a qualified tax professional review regulatory treatment.

Step-by-step workflow

Select the tax period.
Run Tax Detail and inspect exceptions.
Compare taxable sales with invoices and credit notes.
Compare purchase tax with expenses, bills and purchase invoices.
Run Tax Summary.
Run Tax Liability and reconcile to tax accounts in General Ledger.
Export the reviewed evidence for the tax process.

Important fields and decisions

Tax DetailLists source lines and tax amounts.

Tax SummaryAggregates activity by tax rate or category.

Tax LiabilityShows the net tax position according to mapped entries.

PeriodMust match the filing or review period.

Sales and purchase sidesOutput and input tax should be distinguished.

MappingDetermines ledger classification.

What happens after completion

After the action is saved, Britixo keeps the Accounting record connected to its source and updates the visible status or ledger data supported by this workflow. Review the saved result rather than relying only on a success message. Where the action posts accounting data, total debits and credits must balance and the accounts must match the approved mapping or manual selection.

Open the saved record and confirm its final status.
Review the source reference and every debit and credit line where ledger data was created.
Use the relevant register, ageing, reconciliation or report to verify the wider effect.

Controls, checks and common mistakes

Do not use the report as jurisdiction-specific advice.
Review zero, exempt and unusual rates.
Investigate missing tax mappings.
Respect filing-period close controls.
Use the least destructive correction available and record the reason for material changes.
Do not bypass a permission, approval or closed-period control by changing unrelated data.

Accounting and data safetyDeletion, reset, void, refund, mapping, journal and reconciliation actions can change financial history. Use approved access, retain supporting evidence and validate the result in the General Ledger or relevant control report.
