Tax Technology Webinars

AI is rapidly moving from experimentation to real deployment in tax workflows such as risk assessment, document drafting, and data classification. At the same time, tax authorities are already using AI at scale, and regulators are raising expectations for transparency, auditability, and human accountability. This creates a trust gap: AI can accelerate tax work, but tax outcomes must remain explainable and defensible. This webinar introduces a practical AI Accountability Framework for Tax built around three principles: systems that reason with tax logic, record every step for auditability, and reassure stakeholders through transparency and governance. It explores how AI can be embedded into tax workflows without becoming a black box, ensuring that professional judgment, control, and responsibility remain central as tax functions adopt AI.

VAT compliance is increasingly driven by data, real-time reporting, and digital scrutiny from tax authorities. Fragmented ERP data, manual processes, and inconsistent reconciliation make it difficult to detect VAT risks early, often leaving issues to surface only during audits. This webinar explores how AI applied to transactional data can reveal VAT outliers before they become problems. Through practical use cases, it shows how AI supports VAT reconciliation, reverse charge validation, and intercompany consistency while strengthening data governance and reducing VAT risk.

In the world of tax, rules are plentiful, statutes, treaties, regulations, case law, administrative guidance. Yet when it comes to implementing these rules in digital environments, most organizations reduce them to static checklists or simple automation triggers. This approach creates brittle systems: they can execute “if-then” steps but fail to capture the reasoning that underlies tax decision-making. AI-enabled workflows demand something deeper. Instead of replicating forms and processes, tax functions must translate human interpretation into structured, codified logic. Imagine a system that not only applies withholding tax rates but also reasons through treaty eligibility, permanent establishment (PE) assessments, or VAT place-of-supply rules with transparency. Moving from rules to reasoning is not just a technical challenge, it is a rethinking of how tax knowledge itself is modeled and maintained.

Tax is moving from a back-office compliance function to a system-led capability that supports advisory insight and real-time control. As AI becomes embedded in both tax authorities and corporate tax functions, governance, accountability, and data ownership are shifting toward board-level oversight. This webinar explores how to redesign tax workflows using AI, codified logic, and system-generated evidence. It focuses on building a system-led tax function that scales, supports decision-making, and delivers defensible control in an increasingly transparent tax environment.

Tax functions are rapidly adopting AI at the same time that regulation, audit scrutiny, and assurance expectations are intensifying. In 2025, trust in tax no longer rests solely on expertise. It depends on whether AI-supported outcomes are accurate, explainable, controlled, and backed by evidence under frameworks such as the EU AI Act, OECD guidance, and expanding digital audit practices. This webinar explores how tax teams can build trust in AI through effective governance. It examines how clean data, defined roles, AI protocols, audit trails, and assurance processes come together to make AI use safe and defensible. Rather than treating governance as a constraint, the session shows how it enables scalable and responsible automation in tax.

Digital transformation in tax is not just about tools and frameworks. It is shaped by individual choices, experience, and the way professionals navigate their own journey through change. Many transformation plans struggle because they overlook this personal dimension. This webinar explores how to make a Tax Technology Transformation Plan work in practice by focusing on the individual roadmap. It reflects on maturity, lessons learned, key decisions, and team readiness, helping tax professionals understand where they stand today and how to define meaningful next steps.
