Compliance // Tax Analyser 2025

[Permissions] XML Capture and Audit e Delivery Manager: A CNPJ-based permission system has been implemented for users in the XML Capture and Audit and Delivery Manager features. It is now possible to create specific permissions by CNPJ as a standard system setting. However, users with an Administrator profile cannot be assigned company-specific permissions, as administrators have unrestricted access to all companies in the system by default.

File Comparator: A feature for the detailed comparison of TXT files has been implemented. The File Comparator performs a detailed analysis and identifies all differences between two versions of the same TXT file, enabling the precise comparison of changes between original files and their respective amended versions for the same period and tax obligation. The Comparator offers granular, line-by-line analysis, providing greater accuracy in identifying specific changes.

Subscription Adjustments for Thomson Reuters Accounts: Changes have been implemented to align the features available in the Thomson Reuters applications. The main changes include removing NFS-e from the sidebar and filters in the Analytics module, hiding the Document Capturer for Thomson Reuters accounts, and adjusting the charts on the Tax Analyser's Overview screen for the Standard and Premium versions. These modifications aim to reduce errors from using non-subscribed features and to improve interface clarity.

Adjustment to REINF Report 187: The report now exclusively displays withholdings from the R-4020 event, as specified in the original scope. This change aims to ensure the reliability of information for decision-making, eliminate inconsistencies in reported data, and reduce customer questions and support tickets regarding the report's content.

CND Manager - Feature Adjustment: System maintenance has been performed to ensure the filters in the CND Manager chart function correctly. The feature now operates by filtering the period based on the certificate's expiration date, and the "nearing expiration" concept is now defined as 30 days before the expiration date. This fix ensures greater accuracy when querying certificates, preventing incorrect interpretations of expiration dates.

New REINF Audits: New audit features have been developed to expand the tax coverage for REINF and enhance the ability to identify inconsistencies in withholdings. The project included the mapping and specification of 18 new REINF audits, improvements to 2 existing audits, and:

- Creation of a report for the R-4040 event (Payments/Credits to Unidentified Beneficiaries);

- A new R-4010 report (Withholdings for Individuals);

- Audits for monthly simplified deduction were included in the R-4010 event;

- Self-withholding in the R-4020 event to identify income tax (IR) inconsistencies;

- An aggregate value audit in the R-4020 event, validating calculations between the XML file and the standard baseline;

- A new audit for the R-4080 event (Self-Withholding);

- An adjustment to report 188 (Withholdings from Legal Entities without Income Tax) to correctly reflect cases of judicial deposits.

- These implementations aim to meet the demands of clients with complex tax regimes and scenarios, offering greater precision in fiscal analysis.

XML Audit

- Inclusion of new withheld ICMS-ST fields in the analytical report: Made detailed information on withholdings from the previous transaction available.

- New Coverage (including Guarulhos and Caxias do Sul): Implemented broader municipal scope for monitoring tax clearance certificates.

 

 

Tax Reform Transition Period (2026–2033): A specific module has been developed to align with the official timeline of the Brazilian tax transition. The system supports hybrid tax calculation, considering the rules for the coexistence of the current and new tax systems during the 2026–2033 period. The implementation includes support for calculation and audits with dual rates and rules, as well as pre-configuration for testing, simulations, and tax impact comparisons. These features aim to provide proactive support for clients' tax planning, reduce errors and inconsistencies during the coexistence period, and improve confidence in adopting the system as a compliance tool for the transition.

New Features: The module has been enhanced with new features to increase the system's control and flexibility. The main implementations are:

- Value editing in the tax calculation (Projection): Allows clients to manually edit figures to increase or decrease the amounts paid, with options to view changes, remove edits to revert to the original value, or insert other simulation values.

- Limit per root CNPJ on tool usage to align with sales agreements.

- Creation of an electric energy report based on EFD-Contribuições.

- Inclusion of the Tax Reform trial balance template on the Upload screen.
