0. INTRODUCTION
This specification provides the definition of the Tax control
message (TAXCON) to be used in Electronic Data Interchange
(EDI) between trading partners involved in administration,
commerce and transport.
1. SCOPE
1.1 Functional definition
A Tax control message is used to enable the transmission of
summary and control data for tax purposes. It is used to
summarise and control the taxes (e.g. VAT) or duty which
applies to a batch or batches of related messages.
1.2 Field of application
The Tax control message may be used for both national and
international applications. It is based on universal practice
related to administration, commerce and transport, and is not
dependent on the type of business or industry.
1.3 Principles
The message meets control needs imposed by administrations and
can be used by individual users for their own control purposes.
The summary and control information is sent by the sender of
tax related messages so the recipient may:
a) verify the integrity of the transmission, i.e. of the tax
related messages sent.
b) maintain an archive of summary and control data of the tax
related messages for audit purposes.
