Countries
Last updated on 2025-07-16
Overview
In the Countries workspace, the countries maintained in the selected period are displayed. Creating countries is necessary in order to create companies. Each company is assigned to a country and uses the tax rates stored for this country for the calculation of current and deferred taxes.
The chapter describes:
- The creation and configuration of countries, along with an overview of the main attributes of a country, such as tax rates and exchange rates (see Creating and Configuring the Element Type “Country”)
- The importing of exchange rates, including the structure of corresponding CSV files (see Importing Exchange Rates).
Name of a country in multiple languages
The language for Income Taxes is set in the Home workspace. In order for data sets created by the user to be displayed in the respective country language, corresponding language entries must be created in the detail view Country. Examples:
Country name (= output value)
German (= Deutschland)
English (= Germany)
Francais (= Allemagne)
