Tax returns

Tax returns are the most common reports used in iAgri Online. They are very important to get right, as the IRD or tax department within your country require thorough and correct information on your business.

At the end of each tax period it is necessary to allocate transactions to that period; this is called "committing". The purpose of this is that once entries have been committed, they cannot be inadvertently deleted or changed and thus cannot cause your cashbook to be out of sync with returns already submitted to the tax department.
