iXBRL Online e-Filing

All Alphatax platforms are fully enabled for iXBRL e-Filing. iXBRL is a computer readable language which enables data within a document (such as a tax computation) to be extracted for analysis. Data items in the document must be identified with an XBRL ‘tag’ as defined by HMRC’s taxonomies. The ‘i’ in iXBRL indicates that XBRL tags must be embedded in an XHTML document, which can be viewed in a web browser.

Alphatax has been designed to automatically identify and tag every relevant item that appears in the tax computation, and produce all reports in the required XHTML format. Almost all of the changes required to enable iXBRL e-Filing occur behind the scenes within Alphatax. This means there is no reason for users to understand the complex syntax which makes up the iXBRL specification, including details of the taxonomies, schema or associated metadata. In general, there are no changes to the presentation of existing reports. In a few cases, a new additional e-Filing disclosure section has been added to the report end.

Alphatax’s integrated HMRC validation process enables users to manage the build of an e-Filing submission package. This submission package contains the computation, CT600 return, statutory accounts and any other relevant documents. Alphatax will test and validate the package to ensure successful submission to the HMRC gateway.
