Abstract:

In line with the international trend and practice of deeming associated entities as a single economic unit and assessing the taxable income at the group level based on the consolidated income tax statements, many countries in the world including the United States, Australia, New Zealand, and France allow the preparation of consolidated income tax returns and provide special tax credits and exemptions for transactions between the parent and subsidiaries companies of the group, unrealized gains (losses) arising from them, and intercompany dividends.

This study aims to examine the needs and demand to prepare a consolidated income tax report, the current practice of business combinations to file income tax returns, and some issues related to the methodology of preparing a consolidated income tax statement. This study also attempts to prepare a consolidated income tax statement form for national business combinations according to the international trend within the framework of the currently acting laws and regulations of Mongolia and to prepare recommendations for improving the consolidated income tax reporting for the business combinations. This paper uses a Ten-step methodology for recording the impact of income tax within the framework of IFRS used in the research of B.Byambakhishig (2017). Our data covers separate financial statements, income tax reports, intercompany transactions, and other related financial data of "AM" LLC (Canadian-invested mining company) and its fully controlled "ASI" LLC, which operates business in mining subcontracting, software development, and analytics.

The study lacks a recording of the impact of income tax and income tax consolidation, therefore, a further study will be conducted on the consideration related to the analysis of the Consolidated Income Tax Statements.
