TME Online

International Tax Management Expert (TME) is a full-featured software tool that enables tax professionals to create and maintain (in chart and table formats) a worldwide entity structure with tax attributes to manage the relationship between entities, model transactions, and track tax planning and compliance tasks. TME includes all the content, features and functionality of Orbitax's two existing products, International Tax Expert and International Compliance Expert, but takes that functionality a critical step further by enabling users to input their company's specific information on the system. TME thereby provides users with a central, customized tax dashboard for the enterprise.

TME enables the user to accurately and quickly perform tasks such as the following:

• Document and view in graphic format the attributes of their global entities
• Model past, current, and future transactions in graphic and table formats
• Manage their daily workflow
• Record and monitor tax related commitments for a multinational group of entities.

• TME starts with comprehensive country-by-country data on domestic and cross-border tax rates, withholding tax calculation and modeling engines, and detailed tax compliance data, then integrates that data into a complete solution that allows tax professionals to input their specific entity charts, entity attributes, transactions and compliance calendar data, and save and maintain all that information in graphic and tabular format. In short, TME gives them the efficiency and peace of mind that comes from creating and maintaining a central tax dashboard for their global enterprise, and enables them to do it in a fraction of the time it would otherwise have taken.



• Entity Manager and Designer lets users save significant time by creating an entity chart to graphically represent the tax attributes of a global business and present all of the relevant entity data in a matter of minutes - something that until now took hours or even days (and data can be input manually or imported from Excel spreadsheets, saving even more time.)



• Updated Tax Rate data built into a powerful calculation engine allows quick identification of corporate tax and withholding tax rates in 110+ countries, for 9 different income streams.



• Tax Calculator and Withholding Tax Minimizer allow users to quickly calculate effective corporate income tax rates and the total tax cost of cross border transactions, and do sophisticated scenario planning to ensure they are utilizing the most advantageous route possible for their cross-border transactions.



• Transaction manager allows instant analysis and graphic representation of the withholding tax impact of transactions and allows powerful scenario modeling for transactions under consideration.



• Tax Memo Generator and Document Repository, combined with TME's unrivalled database of tax treaties and translated tax forms make it easy to create and archive all critical documents associated with planning, completed transactions, and compliance activity - solving a key organizational challenge for tax professionals in global enterprises.



• Customizable tax compliance calendar allows central management of international tax projects, task allocation, etc, and enables users to generate memos on decisions reached and export calculations to Microsoft Excel.



• Links to in-depth analysis from IBFD, make it easy to examine the justification for the demonstrated rate through treaties and domestic law from authoritative IBFD sources.
