8. Care

The process of recording and verifying payments typically involves several steps.

2. Payers then report their income and expenses to the central entity using a variety of forms and documents.
3. This information is used to calculate the amount owed by each participant.
4. Customers may be required to make regular payments throughout the year, or they may make a single payment at the end of the tax year.
