Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a program, an information processing device, and a method. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, with the introduction of the invoice system, it has become necessary for sellers to prepare invoices (qualified invoices) that convey to buyers the exact applicable tax rate, amount of consumption tax, etc. With such invoices, companies conducting transactions have the task of entering the transaction and tax classification into their accounting data based on the data stated on the invoice.

[0003] With regard to such tasks, in order to make it easier to determine whether items listed on an invoice are subject to taxation, there is a technology that identifies multiple character strings contained in the invoice data, identifies the invoice amounts of one or more items included in the invoice data based on the identified character strings, and determines whether the items related to the invoice amount are subject to taxation based on whether a surplus results when the identified invoice amount is divided by a tax-added value obtained by adding a tax rate to 1.0, and outputs the determination result (Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 2022-062667 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] The above technology determines whether the amount listed on the invoice, etc. is subject to taxation based on whether there is a surplus when dividing the amount by the tax-added value to which the tax rate is added, or based on the tax rate listed, whether the item related to the invoice amount is subject to taxation. This makes it possible to determine whether consumption tax is subject to taxation or whether a reduced tax rate is applied. However, the above technology cannot determine the input tax credit, and users have to take the time to register accounting data by considering the input tax credit. In addition, it is not easy for users to determine the tax category for transaction detail data and register it as accounting data, and it is not easy to correct it later if the user makes a mistake in inputting it.

[0006] Therefore, the present disclosure provides a technology that can reduce the effort required to determine tax classifications and register them in accounting data, thereby making the task more efficient. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The program of the present disclosure is a program to be executed by a computer having a processor and a memory, the program causing the processor to execute the following steps: accepting input of transaction data related to a user's transaction; acquiring invoice data for the transaction from a platform in response to the transaction being concluded in response to the input of the transaction data and the transaction being conducted on a platform where invoice data linked to the transaction data is output; determining the tax category to be levied on the transaction based on whether a seller included in the acquired invoice data is a qualified invoice issuer or a tax-exempt seller, the consumption tax rate to be levied, and the transaction date of the transaction; and outputting the determined tax category as accounting data. Effect of the Invention

[0008] According to the present disclosure, it is possible to reduce the effort required to determine tax classifications and register them in accounting data, thereby making tasks more efficient. [Brief description of the drawings]

Details will be described later.

[0044] The tax classification database 2022 is a database for holding information relating to the tax classification for transactions, specifically, information for determining the tax classification, which is managed by the accounting processing system 1. Details will be described later.

[0045] The rule database 2023 is a database for holding information about rules set for tax classifications related to transactions that are subject to management in the accounting processing system 1, specifically, rules set for determining tax classifications. Details will be described later.

[0046] The accounting database 2024 is a database for holding accounting information related to transactions, specifically, journal entry information related to companies, sole proprietorships, etc., which is managed by the accounting processing system 1. Details will be described later.

[0047] The control unit 203 performs functions shown in various modules, such as a receiving control module 2031, a transmitting control module 2032, a setting module 2033, a transaction information receiving module 2034, a transaction module 2035, an invoice data acquisition module 2036, a tax classification determination module, and a user presentation module 2038, by the processor 29 of the server 20 performing processing according to a program.

[0048] The reception control module 2031 controls the process in which the server 20 receives a signal from an external device in accordance with a communication protocol.

[0049] The transmission control module 2032 controls the process in which the server 20 transmits signals to external devices in accordance with a communication protocol.

[0050] The setting module 2033 accepts rules input by a user of the accounting processing system 1 operating the terminal device 10 for determining a specific tax category when certain conditions are met, and controls the process of setting the rules. The rules accepted by the setting module 2033 are, for example, that a specific product or service in a transaction is assigned a specific tax category, or that a specific tax category is assigned when the seller in a transaction is a specific trading partner. The setting module 2033 stores the accepted rules in the rule database 2023.

[0051] The transaction information receiving module 2034 controls the process of receiving transaction data, which is information about transactions between the user and other businesses, input by the user of the accounting processing system 1 through operation of the terminal device 10 by the user. The transaction data received by the transaction information receiving module 2034 is, for example, information about the parties involved in the transaction, such as the orderer, orderee, purchaser, etc., information about the contents of the transaction, delivery date, amount, etc., and may also include deliverables and deliverables if they are manageable as electronic information, such as reports and design documents. The parties involved in the transaction may be either corporations or individuals, as long as they are parties involved in the transaction, such as the orderer, orderee, purchaser, etc.

[0052] The transaction module 2035 transmits the input transaction data to the server 30, thereby controlling the process of making the server 30 realize the transaction related to the transaction data.

[0053] The invoice data acquisition module 2036 controls the process of acquiring invoice data linked to the transaction data transmitted to the server 30 by the transaction module 2035 by receiving the invoice data from the server 30. The invoice data generated by the server 30 is based on an arbitrary format.

[0054] The tax category determination module 2037 controls the process of determining the tax category to be taxed on a transaction based on whether the seller included in the acquired invoice data is a qualified invoice issuing business or a tax-exempt business, the consumption tax rate to be levied, and the transaction date of the transaction. The tax category is a category expressed by a combination of whether the purchase is taxable or not, the input tax credit rate, and the consumption tax rate. The tax category can be set arbitrarily according to laws and regulations. The tax category is expressed, for example, as "A: taxable purchase", "B: taxable purchase and reduced tax rate 8%", "C: taxable purchase and deduction 80%, "D: taxable purchase, deduction 80%, and reduced tax rate 8%", "E: taxable purchase and deduction 50%, "F: taxable purchase, deduction 50%, and reduced tax rate 5%, "G: non-taxable purchase", etc.

[0055] The tax category determination module 2037 can determine the tax category by any method. For example, the tax category determination module 2037 determines the tax category by using tax categories stored in advance in the tax category database 2022. The tax category determination module 2037 determines whether the seller is a qualified invoice issuing business or a tax-exempt business by any method, such as acquiring seller information in advance or confirming with a server that stores seller information via communication.

[0056] The tax category determination module may determine the tax category using a trained model that has been trained in advance. The trained model may be trained to, for example, input whether the seller is a qualified invoice issuing business or a tax-exempt business, the consumption tax rate, and the transaction date, and output the tax category. The trained model may be trained to input invoice data and output the tax category, or may be trained to extract from the invoice data whether the seller is a qualified invoice issuing business or a tax-exempt business, the consumption tax rate, and the transaction date, and output the tax category. In addition, when the invoice data is image data, the trained model may be trained to output the tax category when the image data that is the invoice data is input.

[0057] The trained model may be trained using, as training data, whether the seller is a qualified invoice issuing business or a tax-exempt business, the consumption tax rate, and the transaction date, and, as training data, a preset tax category. If the invoice data is image data, the trained model may be trained using the image data and the tax category. Any model may be used as the trained model.

[0058] Furthermore, when the acquired invoice data satisfies a condition set in the rule database 2023, the tax category determination module 2037 determines the tax category corresponding to the condition in the rule database 2023 with priority. Note that whether or not to use the rule database 2023 may be configured to be set according to a user's operation from the terminal device 10. For example, the user may be allowed to turn on / off the function of using the rule database 2023 by operating the screen.

[0059] In addition, the tax classification determination module 2037 stores the tax classification determined for the transaction in the accounting database 2024.

[0060] The user presentation module 2038 controls the process of presenting to the user the tax category determined for the transaction by the tax category determination module 2037. The user presentation module 2038 transmits the transaction data, invoice data, and the determined tax category to the terminal device 10 and displays them on the display 150, thereby presenting them to the user.

[0088] FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of tax classification determination processing performed by the accounting processing system 1.

[0089] In step S121, the transaction information receiving module 2034 of the server 20 receives transaction data related to a user's transaction input by the user.

[0090] In step S122, the transaction module 2035 of the server 20 transmits the input transaction data to the server 30, thereby causing the server 30 to perform transaction processing related to the transaction data.

[0091] In step S123, the invoice data acquisition module 2036 of the server 20 controls a process of acquiring, from the server 30, invoice data linked to the transaction data transmitted to the server 30 by the transaction module 2035.

[0092] In step S124, the tax category determination module 2037 of the server 20 controls the process of determining the tax category to be taxed on the transaction based on whether the seller included in the acquired invoice data is a qualified invoice issuer or a tax-exempt business, the consumption tax rate to be levied, and the transaction date of the transaction. At this time, if the acquired invoice data satisfies the conditions set in the rule database 2023, the tax category determination module 2037 determines the tax category corresponding to the conditions in the rule database 2023 with priority.

[0093] In step S125, the tax classification determination module 2037 of the server 20 stores the tax classification determined for the transaction in the accounting database 2024.

[0094] <Summary> As described above, the technology disclosed herein accepts input of transaction data related to a user's transaction, concludes a transaction in response to the input of the transaction data, and acquires invoice data for the transaction from a platform in response to the transaction being conducted on the platform where invoice data linked to the transaction data is output. The technology disclosed herein determines the tax category to be taxed on the transaction based on whether the seller included in the acquired invoice data is a qualified invoice issuer or a tax-exempt business, the consumption tax rate to be levied, and the transaction date of the transaction, and outputs the determined tax category as accounting data. This reduces the effort required to determine the tax category and register it in the accounting data, making the task more efficient.

These embodiments and modifications, as well as omissions, substitutions, and modifications, are included in the technical scope of the claims and their equivalents.

[0096] In the above embodiment, the determined tax category is registered as accounting data, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the determined tax category may be presented to the user as a candidate for the tax category to be supplemented for the transaction, and the determined tax category may be registered or modified according to the user's operation.
