While local direct tax compliance formalities are still based on very diverse local legislation, data management offers options to gather data more efficient than ever before and work towards a solid return to provision process. For indirect tax the horizon and promise of real time reporting is a daunting opportunity, while new compliance formalities such as Pillar 2 show that there is only more to come. It requires our clients more than ever to have a solid delivery model in place to stay compliant and make sure this happens as efficiently as possible.
What is Tax Compliance Transformation?
Tax Compliance Transformation focuses on coordinating, transforming and improving the way our client’s tax departments manage their global tax compliance obligations. We always make a clear separation between strategy, processes and infrastructure. It often involves combinations of streamlining data management and compliance processes, implementing technology solutions, and leveraging specialized expertise to meet ever-changing regulatory and transparency requirements.
