Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes transmitting tax related data to a selected financial institution, reporting the data and remitting funds corresponding to the data, over an interactive communications network, to a selected government authority. XML-based transaction requests and responses may be used to facilitate the method.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a specific, illustrative apparatus, system and method for transmitting tax related data to a selected financial institution, reporting the data and remitting funds corresponding to the data, over an interactive communications network, to a selected government authority. The system comprises a first function for receiving an XML-based transaction request from a program controlled tax computation system. This function also verifies the validity of the request and replies to the system with an XML-based response, preferably including a transaction identifier. A second function, desirably modular in form, verifies the validity of the XML form request from the tax computation system. It also stores such valid transaction request in a database. Next, a third function transforms the request into a master XML-based request and stores the master request in the database. A fourth function then notifies an authorized third party, i.e.
