Tax function and tax automation services

How to improve the efficiency of the tax function and what effect to expect?

One of the important areas of the tax function development is raising its significance in the company.

The objectives of effective tax risk management stipulate the integration of the tax function into all processes of the company and the transition from the role of accounting and preparation of tax reports to the role of a business partner focused on risk management and quality support in making investment decisions.

In today's world, the development of the tax function is impossible without an automated tax accounting. Automation helps increase the efficiency of preparing tax reporting and implement automatic control procedures for tax reporting review.

As a result, finance, accounting and tax functions can focus on the most complicated and critical issues to prevent tax risks and ensure company's success.

Like any other function of the company, the tax function includes three components: people, processes, systems. Our goal is to make their work as efficient as possible. With this in mind, we recommend working in three areas:

  • improvement of the organizational structure of the tax function and the KPI system to assess its effectiveness;
  • setting up and regulating tax function processes and improving the tax function management system;
  • setting up and automating the system of internal tax control and tax risk management;
  • automation of a tax function.

Working in the above areas may lead to the following positive effects for the company:

  • prevention or mitigation of tax risks throughout the Group;
  • increased level of control and transparency of the company's tax business processes, information and document flow;
  • ability to forecast and manage the tax burden;
  • reduced costs for the preparation of tax reporting and performance of other tasks of the tax function;
  • increased motivation of employees and the company's appeal as an employer for qualified tax specialists;
  • increased company's value due to its reputation of a good-faith taxpayer and a reliable counterparty, improved competitiveness of the company.
