First Claim
1. A computer program product comprising application software encoded on a tangible machine-readable information carrier, the application software being structured as process components interacting with each other through service interfaces, the software comprising:
- a plurality of process components, each of the process components being a package of software implementing a respective and distinct business process, the plurality of process components including;
an accounting process component that records relevant business transactions for valuation and profitability analysis;
a due item processing process component that handles the collection, management, and monitoring of trade receivables or payables and corresponding sales tax or withholding tax; and
a payment processing process component that handles the processing and management of all payments; and
a plurality of service operations, each service operation being implemented for a respective process component, the operations comprising inbound and outbound operations, the outbound operation for a first process component being operable to send a message to a second process component of the plurality of process components, the second process component having an inbound operation for receiving the message, the passing of messages between an inbound and an outbound operation defining a message-based pair-wise interaction between the respective process components of the respective operations, the pair-wise interactions between pairs of the process components including interactions between;
the payment processing process component and the accounting process component;
the payment processing process component and the due item processing process component;
the due item processing process component and the payment processing process component;
the due item processing process component and the accounting process component;
a bank statement creation at bank process component and the payment processing process component;
the payment processing process component and a payment order at house bank process component;
the due item processing process component and a processing product tax declaration at tax authority process component;
the due item processing process component and a processing of European community sales list report at tax authority process component;
the payment processing process component and a payment processing at business partner process component;
the accounting process component and a cash flow statement auditing at auditor process component;
the accounting process component and a balance sheet auditing at auditor process component;
the due item processing process component and a processing of withholding tax declaration at tax authority process component;
the accounting process component and an accounting document report auditing at auditor process component; and
the accounting process component and an account balance report auditing at auditor process component.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products, for implementing a software architecture design for a software application implementing tax declaration. The application is structured as multiple process components interacting with each other through service interfaces, and multiple service interface operations, each being implemented for a respective process component. The process components include an Accounting process component, a Due Item Processing process component, and a Payment Processing process component.
