Limitations and assumptions

  • The balances are supplied accounting records, not verification of tax-credit eligibility, refunds, jurisdictional rules or filing obligations.
  • Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
  • Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.

Alternative or Complementary methods

Check the applicable tax rules and source documents with the appropriate professional. Keep rate, base, timing, currency and credit eligibility explicit before using the arithmetic for a return or payment.
