How it helps
A decision grounded in approved context.
Cross-reference a proposed transaction or contract against the tax requirements that apply to the products, entities and jurisdictions involved.
Worked example
A realistic decision point.
A salesperson prepares a customer contract. The proposal is reviewed in the context of the customer, products or services, contracting entity and relevant jurisdictions. Items needing Tax or Legal input are identified.
What can be reviewed
Inputs and possible findings.
The review is tailored to the decision and the applicable approved requirements.
Typical inputs
- Commercial proposal and draft contract
- Customer and product context
- Contracting entity and jurisdiction
- Pricing and invoicing terms
Issues that may be identified
- A contracting entity needing review
- A tax clause inconsistent with company policy
- Unclear VAT, GST, sales tax or withholding tax responsibility
- Unclear tax-inclusive or tax-exclusive pricing
- Missing delivery or supporting information
Practical outcome
Clarity for the next decision.
A focused explanation of what matters for the proposed contract, why it matters and who should review it.
