Tax governance

At the heart of tax management

KPMG's tax governance team supports leaders of tax, CFOs and boards to achieve confidence that measures to manage tax across the business have been designed well and are operating effectively. We help businesses establish, review and evidence tax governance frameworks and controls; enhance tax function reporting and stakeholder engagement; assist boards with their responsibilities; and develop tax transparency reports.

Our holistic approach combines tax governance with tax transformation and innovative models to unlock opportunities to harness technology and process enhancements to improve governance, efficiency and effectiveness. Through this approach, good tax governance frameworks help meet regulatory requirements, save time through clearer and better processes, and increase stakeholder confidence that tax is managed well.
