Effective tax rate materiality report
FASB released
ASU 2023-09
, which requires US GAAP
filers to disclose a more transparent and uniform Rate Reconciliation (ETR)
in their published financial statements for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024.The
Effective Tax Rate CSC Breakout
report with Stacked CSC Details
view gives you an ETR that meets the new guidelines.Set up
Jurisdictional Sub-consolidation
In
Administration
, create a Top-Tier Parent
with Sub-Tier jurisdictional sub-consolidations
representing the various countries required to be disclosed.After creating the
Jurisdictional Sub-consolidation
, select your domicile country by marking the checkbox in the Actions
column. You can only select 1 domicile country.
Dataset parameters
- For your selectedDataset, add the materiality parameters underMore | Dataset Parameters.
- The parameters areETRMATERIALPERCENT(Decimal Numeric) andETRMATERIALCURRENCY(Whole Numbers).
- Select one of these parameters under report options when you run the report.

If you want to include the State Local Tax effect in the Standard Category of the underlying component, set the
Dataset Parameter
SHOW_STATE_NET
to Y
. note
You don't need to enter this if you want the
State and Local Tax effect
to show in the State and Local Income Taxes
section. Create ETR materiality rollup set
Create an
ETR Materiality Rollup Set
. The ETR Materiality Rollup Set
type is option 4 when creating a Rollup Set
.
Create rollups
When you create your component rollups for the
ETR Materiality Rollup Set
, select a relevant Standard Category
.You can assign multiple component rollups to a
Standard Category
. The Standard Categories
align with ASU 2023-09
and are displayed on the report.
note
You don't need to create rollups for system categories, since these always appear on the report. System categories are subject to materiality.
The system categories are:
- FX Adjustment
- State and Local Income Taxes
- Effect of Rates Different than Statutory
- Effect of Rate Changes in Current Year
- True-ups
Time saver hint
After you create your
ETR Materiality Rollup Set
and 1 rollup with a Standard Category
assigned, use the #CRU# Component Rollup Sets
tab in the Categories export file
to create your remaining rollups and assign your components to each rollup. The #CRU#
tab has a column at the end to assign Standard Categories
to each rollup.The codes for the Standard Categories are:
- ECB (Effect of Cross Border Tax Laws)
- TC (Tax Credits)
- VA (Valuation Allowances)
- NNI (Nontaxable or Nondeductible Items)
- UTB (Changes in Unrecognized Tax Benefits)
- ORI (Other Reconciling Items)

After making changes, save the file and import it back into the system using the
Categories Import
option in Administration

Stacked CSC with materiality report
The domicile jurisdiction appears first and needs to show all System and Standard Categories, per ASU 2023-09, regardless of materiality.
note
Non-domicile jurisdictions only display
System and Material Standard Categories
.If a non-domicile jurisdiction has no material
System and Standard Categories
but the total of the System and Standard Categories
is material, the jurisdiction is listed with a total.If a non-domicile jurisdiction doesn't have any individual or aggregate material totals, the system groups its totals under
Other Jurisdictions
.The changes in
Unrecognized Tax Benefits
category is summed across all jurisdictions and shown as a separate row.Apply materiality to the report
When running the report, the system applies the selected materiality threshold of the Dataset to each component rollup.
- If the selected materiality threshold is 5% (ETRMATERIALPERCENT) and the Group Rate is 21%, then the threshold applied to each rollup is 1.05% of PTBI of the CSC group: ((5% x 21% = 1.05%+/-) or greater x PTBI of the CSC).
- If the selected materiality threshold is $10,000 (ETRMATERIALCURRENCY), then the federal tax effected rollup needs to be $10,000 or greater.
Items that aren't material
On the Stacked CSC report, if a rollup within an otherwise material
Standard
Category is less than the selected ETRMATERIALPERCENT
or ETRMATERIALCURRENCY
, then the rollup will be included in the Other
row within the Standard
Category.
If the total of the rollups assigned to a Standard Category is less than the selected
ETRMATERIALPERCENT
or ETRMATERIALCURRENCY
, then the Standard
Category won't be displayed as a separate line item and the associated rollups will appear under Other Reconciling Items
with the name of the Standard
category in parentheses.This presentation provides full clarity as to what is included in
Other Reconciling Items
.
Rate effect column
For the
Stacked CSC
view, the Rate Effect column is calculated based on the total PTBI
of the CSC
. This is different from the Effective Tax Rate CSC Breakout
report, which calculates the Rate Effect
based on the PTBI
of each Sub-Consolidation
separately.
