Beyond Tax: transformation

The tax function is being reshaped by technology. AI, automation and advances in tax technology are changing how information is gathered, analysed and reported, while creating opportunities for tax teams to contribute more effectively to wider business decisions.
Realising that potential depends on more than choosing the right tools. Data, governance, skills and collaboration across tax, finance and technology all influence whether transformation delivers lasting value.

Transforming the tax function with technology and AI 

AI in tax is moving from experimentation towards implementation. Generative AI and automation can change how teams approach compliance, analyse data and identify information that supports better decisions. At the same time, developments such as e-invoicing are accelerating the need for reliable, accessible tax data. 

The question is increasingly where technology can make the greatest difference and whether the foundations are ready to support it. Strong data, appropriate controls and human oversight remain critical. Here, we examine how tax functions are responding and what successful transformation looks like in practice.
