Enterprise Tax Framework Overview

The Enterprise Tax Framework provides a canonical, country-neutral organizing structure for enterprise tax knowledge. It separates two fundamental layers:

Stable Tax Framework: The relatively enduring structure of a country's tax system — authorities, types, jurisdictional hierarchy, registration structures, determination principles, filing architecture, and documentation obligations. This layer changes infrequently and forms the backbone of ERP tax configuration.

Time-Dependent Tax Content: Rates, thresholds, exemptions, filing deadlines, forms, schema versions, and administrative guidance. This layer requires effective-date management and continuous monitoring against authoritative sources.

Every country workspace extends this global framework. Where a country does not implement a particular domain (e.g., no VAT, no e-invoicing mandate), that domain is explicitly marked as Not Applicable rather than simply absent.

The framework is organized into twenty domains (A through T), covering the complete enterprise tax lifecycle from registration and determination through filing, controls, and audit.
