Your tax-relevant processes are documented holistically and audit-proof with TaxCMS in Aeneis.

Tax CMS (Tax Compliance Management System) is an internal control system that helps companies ensure compliance with tax regulations and minimize tax risks. It is a structured system of measures, policies and procedures that aims to ensure tax compliance within a company.
TaxCMS software offers companies a structured and efficient way to fulfill their tax obligations, minimize risks and optimize their processes. Especially for larger companies or those operating in several countries, such software is almost essential to manage the complexity of tax administration and ensure that all regulations are met.

Without software for a Tax Compliance Management System (Tax CMS), companies face a number of challenges that can significantly complicate tax compliance and increase risks:
IDW PS 980 is an audit standard from the Institute of Public Accountants in Germany e.V. (IDW), which regulates the requirements for setting up and auditing compliance management systems (CMS). The standard provides a framework for auditors to assess the appropriateness and effectiveness of a CMS. The most important aspects of IDW PS 980 are:
The TaxCMS module in the Aeneis BPM and GRC software is based on these aspects so that your compliance management withstands every tax audit.
With the Tax CMS content module in the Aeneis BPM and GRC software, you have the opportunity to approach your tax-relevant processes holistically:
A tax CMS can help relieve management or senior executives in criminal tax proceedings. By implementing a tax CMS, management shows that they are actively addressing tax processes in the company and taking measures to avoid tax errors. As a result, the Tax CMS can be an important factor in refuting an allegation of a tax offense.
For German companies, the Tax CMS should be based on the BMF letter on § 153 AO, IDW PS 980 and the corresponding practice note. For internationally oriented companies, international regulations (COSO and OECD) and foreign local requirements should also be taken into account.
There is no legal obligation to implement a Tax CMS. Rather, the benefits mentioned above (in particular reliefing bodies and building trust in the tax administration) prevail, meaning that implementation is expressly recommended.
The existence of a robust tax CMS makes tax audits increasingly easier to manage. Tax auditors are increasingly asking about existing tax CMS and are taking into account the existence of a tax CMS when it comes to the depth of the audit, but also when it comes to possible prosecution and assessment.
