Implication TIGERS TIGERS has been chartered with the tax of standardizing an electronic tax reporting system. The success of TIGERS will depend, for the most part, on the efficacy and popularity of the TaxXML standard. TaxXML holds the potential of revamping the entire framework of electronic tax reporting through all governmental agencies. Corporations Companies will need to report their taxes in TaxXML within the rules established by TIGERS. There will be no scope for “creativity” in tax reporting as the elements and attributes being used will be explicitly detailed in the definitions within the TaxXML schema. Tax reports will need to be prepared within a strict regime that will minimize the scope for fraud. Vendors The schema for TaxXML that is finalized at TIGERS will dictate the way in which the computer software will be engineered and used. With a pre-described foundation of the technology to be used for the development of such software, there will be the scope for far greater inter- operability between electronic tax reporting software. International Tax Agencies Taxation agencies of foreign governments will likely choose to be compatible to the TaxXML standards developed at TIGERS because that will enable them to integrate with the American tax system and also help them optimize their own tax systems. TIGERS is working on a project that might bring about one of the most dramatic and positive changes to the Internal Revenue Service. A standard such as TaxXML has the potential to redefine the methods that the government utilizes for tax administration. E. Methodologies of TaxXML Implementation TIGERS is engaged in researching the three main methods of electronic tax reporting via TaxXML. Each of these methods is different it its level of control. Control refers to the degree of security in the representation and transport of data marked up using TaxXML. It is the extent of encryption that is sought in the implementation of the TaxXML standard. These methods are: XBRL based “Open” method: XBRL is a standard for marking up the accounting information of a business’s financial reports. This is a very flexible approach to implementing TaxXML as the data is marked up using a schema founded on an open standard that passes over the Internet as a plain text file. This is the most seamless approach to integrating TaxXML components into pre-existing corporate accounting packages. EDI based: Using this method the taxes are encrypted with a moderate level of security. Since there is the process of encoding the returns before they are readied for filing and decoding, this method is slightly harder to integrate into an existing accounting software. The advantage of this approach is the increased certainty that tax filing are going directly to an electronic data interchange set up by the tax administration authority over a secure connection. Direct Method: This is the strictest method for deploying TaxXML. Here every component of the filing is strongly encrypted. Data is only passed over secured connections. Authenticity and integrity of the filings is maintained by validation of the document to the schema and authentication of the transport mechanism for conveying the tax returns. This is the most resources intensive method of implementing TaxXML due to the immense computing requirements of the coding and decoding of the tax filings. Microsoft Straw man is an encryption project that is being considered by TIGERS for possible implementation in such an approach to TaxXML implementation. The following graph relates to tradeoff between the deployment simplicity and level of security in the filings. Download 164.01 Kb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
