Overview

Tax & Compliance Validation is a workflow to verify tax calculations, flag missing deductions, and surface compliance risks before filing across corporate income tax, payroll, and VAT returns. It supports pre-filing validation — entity and period capture, recomputation/verification of tax math, deduction completeness checks, and compliance risk flagging — in one streamlined workflow. What you get: a structured table of extracted and calculated fields you can review, edit, and export.
To set up the workflow (creating sessions, uploading documents, running a workflow, and exporting), see Setting Up a Workflow for a comprehensive guide.This page focuses on what’s specific to Tax & Compliance Validation.

​
When to use Tax & Compliance Validation

Use this workflow when you need to:
  • Validate computed tax figures against source documents and schedules
  • Identify missing, overstated, or unsupported deductions before filing
  • Standardise review across multiple filing types (Corporate, Payroll, VAT)
  • Highlight compliance risks and issues that require remediation

What’s specific to Tax & Compliance Validation

  1. Verification compares logic, not just totals. Confirm that the tax was computed using the correct basis, rates, and rules for the filing type and period.
  2. Missing deductions must be explicit and actionable. List missing deductions clearly (what is missing and why it appears eligible) to speed remediation.
  3. Compliance risk should reflect filing impact. Use the Compliance Risk field to summarise risk severity and the likely impact (penalties, exposure, audit flags).

Standard fields (default columns)

​
Customising Tax & Compliance Validation columns

You can tailor columns to match your internal review checklist.
  • Add columns for rate used, penalty/interest estimate, supporting schedule presence (Yes/No), reconciliation status (e.g., TB vs return), and reviewer sign-off.
  • Rename columns to be explicit (for example, “Taxable base (₦)” or “Calculated tax (₦)”).
  • Keep column names clear and unambiguous to improve extraction and validation consistency.

​
Important Notes

  • Always confirm the filing type, period, and entity identifier match the filing package.
  • If a field is consistently wrong, simplify the column name or add a short instruction to the column prompt.
  • Treat this workflow as a pre-filing control; final filing decisions should follow your approval process.
