Tax reporting is becoming significantly more complex as organizations must respond to rapidly evolving regulations—such as CbCR and Pillar Two—while ensuring consistency and integrity of data across an increasing number of reports and returns. Short(er) closing cycles, greater transparency and stricter compliance requirements demand a fundamentally different approach to tax provisioning and reporting.
During this TT Bite, we will demonstrate how Connected Tax Reporting enables organizations to gain control over their tax data, accelerate processes, and improve reporting quality. We combine strategic insights with practical experience and innovative applications – from data architecture to AI.
You will gain a clear perspective on how to transform your tax reporting function from a fragmented, manual process into an integrated, data-driven environment.
What to expect:
- How a strong data architecture creates the foundation for efficient tax reporting.
- Which tools and best practices truly deliver value in practice
- How AI can create tangible impact in tax reporting – illustrated through real-life use case(s).
Agenda
Architecture and Data
A future-proof tax reporting function starts with the right foundation. We will demonstrate how a well-designed tax data architecture drives control, speed, and reliability in tax provisioning and reporting. Topics include ERP integration, common tax data modelling, data quality, and governance as key enablers of Connected Tax Reporting.
Tax Technology & Best Practices
Which solutions truly make a difference? We will guide you through the evolving landscape of tax reporting tools and translate this into real-life implementation insights. You will learn what works, where common pitfalls lie, and how to effectively leverage technology to optimize your tax processes.
AI and Client Use Case
What does AI really mean for tax reporting and how connected tax reporting works in relation to efficient data management? We will bring this to life through inspiring client use cases, showcasing how we structure tax data and re-use it for different purposes as well as how AI can accelerate tax reporting processes, reduce errors, and enhance insights. A practical example of how innovation is already delivering value today.
