Report DT Pos
Last updated on 2026-03-11
Overview
The Report DT Pos in the (Sub-) Group area aggregates the total change in deferred taxes of the subordinate or dependent companies per balance sheet position. A reconciliation of deferred taxes is performed from the prior period to the current period.
This article contains the following sections:
Navigation
The Report DT Pos workspace is opened under (Sub-) Group | Reports | Report DT Pos.
The Report DT Pos workspace is displayed, for example, as follows:
The report is only displayed for companies for which the check box (Sub-) Group is activated in the master data in the Companies workspace.
Structure of Report DT Pos
The structure of the (condensed) balance sheet in the Report DT Pos is based on the settings in the master data workspace CoA Group. Only (parent) positions for which the Disclosed major class of deferred tax attribute is activated are displayed in the Report DT Pos.
The Total row can be reconciled, among other things, with the Deferred Taxes workspace in the (Sub-) Group workspace. Therefore, the explanations provided there for calculating the individual change columns apply here.
As a supplement to this compressed view, there is also a very detailed, technical report that shows the underlying values per company. You can find this under the Tax Reports under Deferred taxes per position with change (data IDs). Based on this report, you can create your own report in the required structure.
Configuring the Display
In the upper part of the workspace, the view can be switched in the drop-down list between ALL, DTA und DTL:
- When ALL is selected, deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are displayed.
- When DTA is selected, only the deferred tax assets are displayed – deferred tax liabilities are hidden.
- When DTL (Deferred Tax Liabilities) is selected, only the deferred tax liabilities are displayed – deferred tax assets are hidden.
