Objective
Ensure CIT and TOT positions are based on current rules, reconciled records and documented treatment and are independently reviewed, filed and paid on time.
Control Activity
Finance prepares each CIT and TOT return from reconciled ledgers and controlled classifications. A reviewer independent of preparation verifies the source, period, rate, exemptions, calculation, prior balance, filing and payment. Authorized approvers release submissions and payments, and Finance reconciles acceptance and bank evidence to the ledger.
