Creating and Configuring Tax Balance Sheets in Tax Balance

Overview

In the Tax Balance Sheets workspace in Tax Balance, you can create your tax balance sheets and assign them to the companies for which the tax balance sheet is to be used.

Furthermore, in this step you choose the taxonomy type and taxonomy version to be used for the tax balance sheet.

The Tax Balance Sheets workspace in Tax Balance can be opened under Master Data | Tax Balance Sheets.

The workspace displays an overview of all tax balance sheets that have already been created and is displayed as follows, for example:

Shows the 'Tax Balance Sheets' workspace under 'Master Data' in Tax Balance with the 'Add' button, the 'Search tax balance sheets' field, and a table with the columns 'Name', 'Start', 'Reporting date', 'Taxonomy', and 'Number of companies' listing tax balance sheets such as 'Tax balance sheet 2026' with the start '01.01.2026', the reporting date '31.12.2026', the taxonomy '6.8 Core taxonomy', and '1' company. Highlighted in red is the 'Tax Balance Sheets' entry in the navigation.
'Tax Balance Sheets' workspace

The overview table of the Tax Balance Sheets workspace in Tax Balance contains the following information:

  • Name of the tax balance sheet
  • Start and reporting date of the tax balance sheet
  • Taxonomy that has been assigned to the tax balance sheet
