Why Attend
Tax technology is evolving at a pace that challenges traditional ways of working in both tax practice and tax administration. Concepts such as Artificial Intelligence, machine learning, large language models, blockchain, e-invoicing, and digital reporting are no longer theoretical. They are actively reshaping how tax law is interpreted, applied, enforced, and audited.
At the same time, this rapid technological development introduces complexity. Buzzwords often obscure fundamental differences between automation, rule-based systems, and AI-driven decision support. Legal and tax professionals are increasingly expected to understand not only what these technologies do, but also how they interact with legal frameworks, ethical standards, data protection rules, and emerging regulation such as the EU Artificial Intelligence Act.
This webinar provides clarity in a landscape that is often fragmented and overloaded with hype. It situates AI developments within the broader digital transformation of tax law and tax administration, drawing on OECD work on Tax Administration 3.0 and international policy developments. Rather than focusing on tools, the session explains how technology changes tax systems, workflows, and professional responsibility.
By attending, participants will gain insight into:
How AI and digitalization are reshaping tax law and administration
The difference between automation, machine learning, and generative AI
Why ethics, transparency, and regulation are central to AI adoption
How technological change affects both taxpayers and tax authorities
The session is designed to help tax professionals understand the strategic direction of tax technology and the implications for compliance, advisory, and governance.
Topics Covered
The webinar provides a structured overview of the latest developments in AI and tax technology, grounded in legal, regulatory, and practical perspectives.
Key topics include:
Digitalization of tax law and administration: How tax systems evolve from traditional models toward digitally embedded frameworks under Tax Administration 3.0.
AI in taxation: definitions and scope: What qualifies as an AI system under the EU Artificial Intelligence Act and how this differs from classic rule-based automation.
Key AI technologies relevant for tax: Machine learning, generative AI, large language models, natural language processing, predictive analytics, and expert systems.
Opportunities and risks of AI: Efficiency gains, improved decision-making, and innovation alongside risks related to data protection, bias, explainability, and accountability.
Ethics and regulation: The role of GDPR, UNESCO ethical standards, and the EU AI Act in shaping responsible AI use in tax.
AI use cases in tax administration: Examples from different jurisdictions covering compliance monitoring, anomaly detection, audit selection, and predictive analytics.
Human-in-the-loop decision-making: Why meaningful human oversight remains essential in AI-supported tax processes.
From static automation to intelligent organizations: How AI enables a shift from rule-based workflows to judgment-based, adaptive systems.
The focus throughout is on understanding how technology, law, and governance intersect in modern tax environments.
Who Is This For
This webinar is intended for professionals who need a clear and structured understanding of AI developments in tax:
In-house tax professionals and managers: Navigating digital reporting, AI-supported workflows, and increasing scrutiny.
Tax technology and transformation leaders: Designing systems aligned with regulatory and ethical requirements.
Advisors and consultants: Supporting clients in understanding and applying AI in tax contexts.
Legal and policy-oriented professionals: Interested in how AI interacts with tax law, regulation, and public administration.
