What if I told you that Tax Compliance can be something else

Tax compliance is often seen as a boring and purely necessary evil. Only a few people get excited by filing returns, and putting numbers in boxes, right? But what if you can turn compliance into a true value driver?

Multinationals are exposed year-by-year to more (statutory and) tax obligations. Not only the general growth of these organisations, also the macro-economic changes and ever-changing tax regulatory landscape are driving the global tax compliance complexity. Many tax teams are struggling to stay in control of all their tax obligations.

Irrespective of the tax operating model, tax compliance is a team sport. This should be all about a well-orchestrated interplay between internal (local finance) and external (advisors) stakeholders helping the in-house tax team to stay compliant.

But here we identify exactly the crux of the problem.

Having well-structured, repeatable processes, with full transparency about the status of the work, clear roles and responsibilities, automated deadline and task management, embedded controls, and a guaranteed audit trail, feels like trying to square a circle. Let alone that it is straightforward to unlock value from your compliance processes.

Ideally, the essential data and documents from the compliance work should be organically captured, to turn it into data available for future use. A high-quality and structured dataset from which reports and intelligence can be unlocked.

And on top of this, a structured dataset is the key to adopting AI inside of your tax function in the future. In short, if you want to contextualise AI technology to your organisation using your data, you need to have the data ready lying on the shelf or you’re going to get nowhere.
