Bank Account Details for Payments
Abacus uses a BankAccount model to manage bank account details for tax payments and refunds. This information is crucial for ensuring payments are made to the correct tax authority and refunds are received in the correct account.
The system automatically selects the appropriate bank account based on the filing's characteristics, such as:
- Jurisdiction: The country or region where the tax is due.
- Filing Type: The specific type of tax return (e.g., VAT Return, Income Tax Return).
- Validity Period: Ensures the correct account is used for the specific timeframe of the filing.
This means that for each filing, the Payment Tab will display the relevant bank details for the tax authority, ensuring accurate and timely transactions.
