Taxes
Overview
The Taxes module is composed of four interconnected components:
Income Taxes represent the total provision for taxes incurred by a company, including both current and deferred taxes. These are typically calculated as a percentage of taxable income and appear on the Income Statement.
Deferred Income Taxes reflect future tax impacts due to timing differences between accounting income and taxable income. They are recognized as Deferred Tax Assets or Liabilities on the Balance Sheet.
Current Income Taxes are the portion of the total tax expense that results in actual cash payments during the period. They are recorded in the Cash Flow Statement under Operating Activities.
Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities are presented on the Balance Sheet under Non-Current Assets or Liabilities. They arise from items like temporary differences between book and tax depreciation or loss carryforwards.

Net Operating Losses (NOLs)
NOLs occur when a company’s tax deductions exceed its taxable income in a given fiscal year. They are valuable tax assets, as they can be carried forward to offset future taxable income, thereby reducing tax liabilities.
- NOLs can be added as part of the Tax Schedule.
