Corporate tax departments face a growing list of onerous and time-consuming challenges. Regulatory reporting requirements are increasingly complex. Tax strategy and planning is becoming more important to the business. Finally, the volume and complexity of the data that has to be collated, processed and communicated is growing exponentially. BEPS, the growth of Big Data, and the ongoing digital transformation of industries mean that this trend is unlikely to change in the near future.

There are some questions we think you should ask yourself if you want to know whether your tax team or department could benefit from adopting a more digital approach and tax transformation.

• Does your tax department function optimally?
• Is your tax process flow efficient and streamlined?
• Do your tax provision, compliance, and planning processes help mitigate risk?
• Does your organisation have an understanding of its total tax liability?
• Would your tax department be used as a benchmark by your peers?

Adding value through tax technology

Corporate tax departments must adopt digital technologies such as automation and AI if they want to focus on adding value and insight. Failing to keep up with best digital practice and technologies will leave you mired in manual management of data and at serious risk of non-compliance.

Adopting the right combination of best practice processes, supported by the right digital tax technology for your needs, will enable you to change the way the tax function is perceived by the rest of the business. You will move from being about processing and compliance to providing ‘real-time’ insight, ideas, guidance and tangible value.

For example, you will never face the nightmare of Year End again. Smart tax technology means that your data is processed, reconciled and validated in real-time. It will also improve quality and reduce risk. You will always be up to date and ready to report.
