# Administrating Master Data

## Overview

Under **Master Data**, you can create, import, and manage globally valid data for Tax Balance.

This includes:

- Creating [companies](https://support.lucanet.cloud/en/documentation/income-taxes/tax-balance/master-data-tax-balance/create-company.md) for which you can prepare tax balance sheets and transmit them to the tax office
- Creating [tax balance sheets](https://support.lucanet.cloud/en/documentation/income-taxes/tax-balance/master-data-tax-balance/create-tax-balance-sheet.md) and assigning them to the companies for which the tax balance sheets are to be used
- Creating [adjustment levels](https://support.lucanet.cloud/en/documentation/income-taxes/tax-balance/master-data-tax-balance/create-adjustment-level.md) to assign tax deviations for different levels of knowledge (such as tax return, annual financial statements, tax audit)
- Configuring [interfaces](https://support.lucanet.cloud/en/documentation/income-taxes/tax-balance/master-data-tax-balance/create-interface.md) for the data import
- Importing [GCD master data](https://support.lucanet.cloud/en/documentation/income-taxes/tax-balance/master-data-tax-balance/import-master-data-from-income-taxes.md) from the **Income Taxes** module

- Transferring [balance sheet structures](https://support.lucanet.cloud/en/documentation/income-taxes/tax-balance/master-data-tax-balance/import-balance-sheet-structure.md) to transfer tax adjustments to Income Taxes, if necessary.
