Introduction
Anrok built the Reconciliation page to help you align sales tax returns with your general ledger and verify the consistency of your financial records. Within the Reconciliation page, you can easily view the tax paid on returns at any point in time and match it with the amount debited from your bank account. Reconciling your returns helps remove the need to go into every return filed to confirm the tax paid by your accountant or sales tax platform.
The Reconciliation page also allows you to export each jurisdiction’s filed returns. Exporting returns ensures your reports are always available to update your general ledger to match.
Note
The Reconciliation page’s export tool is an enterprise feature available on Anrok’s Growth plans. Please contact hello@anrok.com to upgrade and unlock the full suite of pre-built reconciliation reports.
