The eTIMS layer is provider-neutral and stores credential references only; certified adapter code can be added behind the same queue later.

Tax returns are prepared from posted tax ledger entries so draft sales, purchases and journals do not leak into statutory reports.

Closed tax periods reject new tax documents and tax ledger entries unless a controlled reopening workflow records the reason.
