Tax control of the enterprise - a key element of
system of internal control
Practice of
formation in Kazakhstan of full-fledged systems of intraeconomic control only
starts developing. Than more company and the is more difficult organizational
structure, the requirements to monitoring systems are wider and the problem of
increase of their quality is more actual. Internal tax control, being part of intraeconomic
tax control, carries out all functions of internal control regarding the tax
relations and therefore is of great importance in company management.
Unfortunately,
the majority of the enterprises formally approach to creation of the regulatory
base regulating system of internal control as a whole, and the majority of
cases the documents regulating tax control aren't created at all at the
enterprise.
Traditionally
heads of many enterprises are interested in creation or in strengthening of tax
services by divisions of tax control, and in certain cases formation of
separate departments.
Certainly,
creation of separate structural divisions of internal tax control demands
additional resources (financial, labor, temporary and so forth) Therefore to
decide on the scale of system of internal tax control and its structure the
management of any enterprise needs to choose defining criterion. In this case
as such criterion it is offered to take the tax loading assigned to the
enterprise.
So, some experts
use a scale defining need of tax actions, in particular planning at a certain
level of tax loading
Level of tax
loading in this case pays off the cook the relation of the paid taxes to the
volume of realized production (works, services).
So on means of
the offered scale the enterprise carries out the test of the existing mechanism
of tax control and tax loading, In a consequence proceeding from the received
results creation of system of internal tax control is carried out.
Accurately
organized system internal tax control not only helps with adoption of
administrative decisions but stimulates a conscientious attitude to execution
by taxpayers of the duties on payment of taxes to collecting. For the purpose
of creation of effectively functioning system of internal tax control any
director needs to decide on requirements to: organizations of system of
internal tax control.
To the main
objectives of internal tax control, first of all, it is necessary to refer
unification of methods and approaches to calculation of taxes as as a whole on
the enterprise, and its various divisions (or various companies of group).
Solving the specified problem, the enterprise can automatically exclude
possible distortions and the errors resulting application of various methods of
calculation of taxes at the same time in all divisions (the group companies).
The purpose of tax control, optimization of the current payments in the budget
and decrease in tax loading, and also tax risks at the enterprise is. Thus it
is required to define level of the tax risks, acceptable schemes of tax
planning, and also readiness of the company for change of structure of business
for tax optimization.
The status of
department of tax control — it, first of all, its situation in organizational
and administrative structure of the enterprise. Two types of administrative
structures, and also their combination are most often applied: lileyny,
functional and linearly - functional.
Formation of
system of intraeconomic control one of key tasks of any company on which cures
safety of property, identification and mobilization of available reserves in
the sphere of production and in finance is provided. In turn the system of
internal tax control is urged to solve the same set, but only in the tax
sphere. Thus, requirements to system of tax control are an integral part of
provision on internal control of the enterprise.
In too time of
the requirement to system of internal control are dictated by economic factors,
namely the enterprises attracting the capital by an exit to the open market
(1PO), are obliged to carry out the certain actions established by normative
documents. So, in particular in the western countries of the requirement to
system of internal tax control are defined by such normative documents as
Internal Control
– Integrated Framework. The Committee of Sponsoring Jrgaizations of the
Treadway Commissio, COSO (The integrated scheme of internal control. Committee
the sponsornykh of the organizations of Tredvey in the Congress of the USA);
Internal
Control:Guidance for Directors on the Combined Code (Instructions on internal
control. Great Britain).
All these
requirements are connected with special attention to system of internal tax
control which is exercised in the course of drawing up financial statements. In
turn, tax obligations are part of financial statements and, therefore, need for
effectively functioning system of internal tax control gains the increasing
value. Certainly, it is a question of the companies, seeking to pass listing,
however it should be noted that this segment makes the lion's share of the tax
income of the budget of RK.
The tax
legislation of Kazakhstan from the point of view of the enterprise represents
so-called "a zone of the increased risk". Actually the enterprises
working, in the Kazakhstan market have a high probability of financial losses
as a result of inadvertent violation of the tax legislation. Following the
western approaches regarding creation of effective system of internal control,
namely applying COSO Enterprise Risk Management Franework technique (a rational
risk management) to the enterprises it is necessary to identify risks and to
make so-called "the card of risks" having allocated the most critical
risks from the point of view of possible damage, In this case it is a question of
tax risks, probability of their emergence and losses which will be suffered by
the enterprise in case of approach of this or that event.
Correct
assessment of tax risks directly influences efficiency of tax control, and,
therefore, internal control of the enterprise.
There is a large
number of various tax risks which can arise in the course of enterprise
activity. The reasons involving tax risks, can be, as well as internal, and
external factors. The Approximate version of the map of tax risks is most convenient
to make an assessment of tax risks on tools for the card of tax risks" it
is offered in table 1.
In the offered
option, only small fragment of the list of possible risks, In turn the
principles of map development of tax risks is considered can be various, So,
for example, it is possible to include information on methods of the prevention
of possible risks in the card of tax risks. Or, for example, it is possible to
include information on probability of approach an assessment of an event
bringing to a loss and its approximate. which, according to the competitor, are
necessary components of the card of tax risks.
The main
objective of the card of tax risks is opportunity at any time on its basis to
define the most considerable tax risks for the enterprise. Development of the
card of tax risks and the analysis of actions for their prevention are problems
of system of internal control, to be exact its directions of tax control

Also efficiency
of internal tax control is influenced by formation of that honor of the
corporate registration principles. The assessment of the tax legislation and
development of the most acceptable decisions regarding its execution in most
cases predetermines considerable part of tax expenses" At the same time
formation of the registration principles of the taxation allows the management
of the enterprise to develop behavior strategy in various economic situations.
Summarizing
stated it is possible to draw a conclusion that efficiency of tax control of
the enterprises directly influences system of internal control, and it is
therefore fair to claim that increase of efficiency of internal tax control is
a key problem of system of internal control of the enterprise.
