Digitalisation of the Tax Function: The Perspective of Business and Tax Administration

    Activity: Organising and attending an event Attending an event Academic

    Description

    This conference, which will be virtual, will focus on the role of technology in helping tax administrations and business to achieve better and more efficient tax compliance. The aim is to contribute to a better understanding of the challenges and opportunities for governments and businesses opened up by advanced digital solutions (e.g. AI, Robotics, Big Data, Blockchain) and their potential in facilitating real tax compliance, ensuring trust and establishing tax certainty without compromising the integrity of the tax system. Targeted technological solutions and selective tax policy responses in this respect may also lead to sustainable reduction in both compliance and administrative costs and greater security of the revenue base.
    The approach to the conference’s topics is to focus on practical case studies and the experience from different countries. During the first day, the focus will be on the role of technology to achieve better compliance within companies and will explore the linkage between tax and trade compliance measures. The second day would examine how digital technologies can help in the effective delivery of the tax administration’s services and in compliance in the area of VAT. The format of each session will include one or two keynote presentations which will be followed by a panel discussion consisting of governments, international and regional organizations, businesses, and academics. At the end of each session, the floor will be open for questions.
