In RA module, one can view transaction details, penalty calculation details, sanction calculation details and percent calculation details.

The account card is maintained in accordance with the Customer accounting rules:

• An account card is generated for the taxpayer in each separate district for each type of taxes in one calendar year;
• Payment transactions are not linked to declarations/debt, and debt settlement transactions are done as per the following rules: for debt calculation first, the  tax settlement is done followed by that of tax percent and tax penalty;

6. Risk Analysis

System provides automatic analytics and identification of taxpayers with high risks of tax evasion in accordance to the predefined risk criteria. The result of risk analysis is a list of risky taxpayers based on customizable criteria, which can be used for different processes such as: Field Audit, Spot-Check Inspection and In-House Audit. Users can also define criteria by subset of taxpayers or for all taxpayers. For example, there are 4 subsets of taxpayers in audit field: VAT payers, non-VAT payers, individuals and government bodies.

User can configure necessary process as well as choose whether to use or not to use a particular risk for calculation, and also configure different threshold values, risk weights and some tolerance in risk calculation. System allows adding and modifying criteria through user interface. Criteria could use different data sources: internal data from Tax Information System, or external data, such as Customs, State Register, etc.

7. Audit

E-Audit System supports following audit types:

Field audit – checking the activities for a completed period followed by a visit to the taxpayer;

In-house audit - based on comparing the different returns between each other or with the data obtained from other external sources to eliminate the possibility of tax evasion.

A method of mathematical analysis based on the law of anomalous numbers (Benford's Law), which allows to identify rigged operation and common errors automatically, without additional human resources is used in the system.

8. Appeals

This module is designed for dealing with taxpayers’ complaints for review by the tax authority or Court.

In general, the process consists of the following steps:

1. Registering complaint, assigning unique number and deadline for appeal processing;
2. Linking the complaint to audit assessment and entering amounts under appeal.
3. Review of the complaint: the appointment of an executive, the subsequent generation of documents in accordance with process settings; the process is finished with a report on process results.

During the process, the process can be suspended and resumed, and the related complaints and processes can be linked.

9. Correspondence and Case tracking

This module is designed to maintain the records of incoming and outgoing correspondence of tax authority. This provides control over meeting deadlines in the correspondences of tax authority with external organizations and taxpayers.

The parameters of input forms are stored in a single JSON format field. This avoids the creation of a large number of tables for each form of the document, and also solves the problem of making numerous changes in input documents during their approval and execution.

The system has embedded case tracking system which provides mechanism of case management, document management and workflow functionality.

This Module helps to track the processes inside the system modules.

10. Dislocation

Module “Dislocation” provides mechanism of associating assets with owners (taxpayers), describing asset’s properties and tracking changes in ownership and properties.

The system provides assigning a unique identification number to the property/asset and tracking all changes in assets properties or ownership. All properties are linked to certain type of asset.

11. Reports and Data Warehouse

Under the project, a data warehouse has been built, and a system has been developed for internal reporting using data extracted from different sources.

Internal reporting system is implemented using Oracle BI tools, which allows to create any vital report, both for approved forms, and for analysis and supporting of decision.

12. Tax Payer Services

14. FormGenerationEngine

System provides FormGenerationEngine which creates web-forms based on spreadsheet templates. Templates could include input form design, data base's fields mapping and any rules for input and processing data.

Templates could include input form design, rules for mapping interface fields with database objects and any rules for input, validate and processing of data.

15. 3rd Party integration

3rd Party integration. To interact with external systems implemented a number of web-services that allow automatic exchange of information. Oracle BI also automatically creates web services for reports. To migrate, validate and load data from other systems, different files into the system ETL tool also available.

Registration services. In the system developed special web service which shares registration module functionality with other program units (other programs, organizations etc.) this web service allows fully integrate the system with “Single window” system. Web service supports new registration (with generation of new tin number), change registration, liquidation of tax payers. This web service uses business rules from registration module.
