Indirect Tax Auditor

Achieve 100% E-Business Tax Compliance
Indirect Tax Auditor is an E-Business Suite extension for managing tax compliance. Tax Professionals use ITA to optimize eBTax configuration rules, and thus manage their company's tax risks and exposures. Key Compliance Indicators monitor tax rule usage in the organization's transaction stream. The charts and drill downs provide details to find and correct tax compliance errors before the transactions are approved or completed, and before they are posted to the General Ledger.
Tax Use Cases
ITA employs a unique requirements gathering approach called Tax Use Cases, which guides the Tax Professional through building and maintaining tax rules. The Tax Use Case method is a fact-based requirements definition model. You define exact requirements in words, then add tax-relevant facts for each Tax Use Case. It guides the Tax Professional in defining rule requirements and mapping them to taxes, rates, condition sets and conditions. Then when you define the eBTax rule in EBS, there is no guessing.
Reduce Tax Risk
ITA helps Tax Professionals reduce the risks of fines and penalties from Tax Authorities, a major tax compliance management goal. They use it to identify the most common issues that create these risks, and report on the problem transactions as they occur.
Evaluate Tax Rules
Analyze existing Tax Rules and defaults for potential configuration issues. Take a close look, by Operating Unit, at tax rules migrated during an 11i to R12 upgrade. Identify non-default tax rates missing tax rules. List all default Status and Tax Rate Codes. Identify Tax Rules that result in Taxable Basis and the Amount Formulas. Manage the implementation of new taxes and rules, and clean up R12 upgrade data related to taxes.
