Interim Rate Basis

Using the Interim Rate Basis option lets the system determine how to apply the computed Annualized Forecasted Tax Rate to the Actual Pre-Tax Book Income. The system posts the true-up to a unit designated for the true-up (with no other adjustments) to track the true-up amount in reports.
  • The
    Overall
    rate basis applies the consolidated forecasted rate to all units.
  • The
    Unit-by-Unit
    rate basis applies each unit's component of the overall forecasted rate to the unit and posts a true-up adjustment to the designated True-Up unit.
