# Account balance

This section describes the information on the accounting balances that must be extracted from the source system and sent to the TaxCompliance application.

The book balances consist of the amounts that are available in the company's accounting accounts at the beginning or end of the bookkeeping periods of a given year.

In the example below, it is possible to verify the payload structure, as well as the functional description of the attributes:

```
[	{ "Companhia": { "CodigoCIA": "12345678"		}, "EstabelecimentoFiscal": { "Companhia": { "CodigoCIA": "12345678"			}, "Codigo": "0001"		}, "PlanoConta": { "Companhia": { "CodigoCIA": "12345678"			}, "GrupoContabil": { "Companhia": { "CodigoCIA": "12345678"				}, "Codigo": "PC2021"			}, "Codigo": "0000111100"		}, "CentroCusto": { "Companhia": { "CodigoCIA": "12345678"			}, "Codigo": "0000110050"		}, "DataPeriodo": "202001", "SaldoInicialPeriodo": 97631.31, "SituacaoSaldoInicial": "D", "ValorDebitoPeriodo": 191277.42, "ValorCreditoPeriodo": 265747.49, "SaldoFinalPeriodo": 23161.24, "SituacaoSaldoFinal": "D", "TipoSaldo": "N"	}]
```

It is worth mentioning that, in order to optimize performance, this is a simplified endpoint, which does not upsert the relational objects (`Lookup`or `Foreign Key`).
