The power of EY: unlocking tax efficiency in an era of digital transformation
Our recent Tax Technology Transformation survey shows that companies have a large appetite for increasingly complex analytics, even when they cannot adequately perform the basics.
- 98% of companies with global headquarters in countries with digital tax administrations (DTA) are organizing their response to DTAs in a centralized and globally consistent manner.
- 50% of companies struggle with basic analytical reporting capabilities.
- The majority of companies still spend 40%-70% of their time on data cleansing.
Tax-specific technologies may make it possible to answer the mandates of the global digital economy with changing tax data flows, data analytics and data requirements. The digital tax function is evolving at a rapid pace and has become a strategic component of enterprise transformation. Therefore, there is a need for the tax functions to undertake timely and accurate compliance and go digital to be able to undertake more value-adding functions for the business.
The path to an intelligent tax function begins with a strategic plan, one that maps a new way of working, and incorporates new skills and technology. It uses well-proven solutions to address persisting issues and leverages the potential of newer technologies to make a quantum leap in capability to be ready for tomorrow.
