3 The Tax Function of the Future 1 3
4 Our predictions 4
5 Our predictions Regulatory Global tax information reporting requirements (e.g. BEPS and similar transparency initiatives) will grow exponentially and will have a material impact on the operations and related budget allocations within the tax function. Regulators will demand transparency regarding global taxation, necessitating clear and thoughtful communications with public stakeholders about corporate contributions to the communities in which they do business. Information sharing will be commonplace among taxing jurisdictions, and taxing authorities will have the capability to mine data and conduct global audits, resulting in increased disputes. 5
6 Our predictions Risk & Governance Many jurisdictions will legislatively require the adoption of a tax control framework which follows guidelines similar to Sarbanes- Oxley and COSO (Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission). Enhanced stakeholder scrutiny and reputational risk will force companies to continuously re-evaluate their tax decisions. Strategic focus on jurisdictional reporting and documentation of business activities, including transfer pricing, will be critical to managing the increased tax controversy resulting from transparency initiatives. 6
7 Our predictions Data The majority of tax functions will receive all information in a 'tax ready format' from either their enterprise-wide financial systems or a dedicated tax data hub. Dedicated tax data hubs will become mainstream and be developed internally, licensed from a third-party vendor, and/or accessed through an accounting firm as part of a co-sourcing arrangement. Data security will be high on the agenda of tax functions due to concerns over confidential information being inadvertently released or shared publicly. 7
8 Our predictions Technology More companies will use their enterprise-wide financial systems to prepare tax calculations (e.g. income tax accounting and indirect taxes), thereby replacing spreadsheets and/or traditional tax technology solutions. The vast majority of tax functions will rely on professional data analysis tools to assist in the decision-making process in areas such as detection of risk, opportunity identification, projections and scenario planning, and overall business support. 8
9 Our predictions Process Most global tax preparatory compliance and reporting activities, including data collection and reconciliations, will be performed within the company's shared service centre or will be co-sourced with a third party. Tax functions will use real-time collaboration tools to automate their workflow, document management, calendaring, and internal controls. 9
10 Our predictions People A successful tax professional of the future will be highly proficient in data analysis, statistics, and technology, as well as process improvement and change management. Tax functions will employ dedicated tax IT, data and project management specialists who will develop, champion, and execute the tax technology and transformation strategies. 10
11 Tax function of the future In conclusion Lots of internal and external changes and influences are impacting how tax is managed in organizations The management of tax in the future will be very different to how tax is managed today Historic practices and processes will need to be revamped, and fresh, innovative approaches utilizing technological know-how will be crucial 11
