The present-day tax landscape is rapidly changing in line with evolving and often complex business models. Tax authorities are increasingly adopting technology and analytics, and the availability of global data has increased in step with the exchange of tax information agreements. Internally, tax functions are facing increased pressure to not only safeguard the organisation against tax risks but also ensure effective and efficient tax planning for the future.
The need for transformation
Tax is complex. But transforming tax doesn’t have to be
In recent years, tax teams have faced increasing pressure to meet their regulatory reporting obligations with fewer resources and significantly more complex tax data. This has resulted in a growing demand for a ‘tax function of the future’ — one that can build effective processes and provide in-depth analytical insights from transparent, real-time tax data.
At KPMG in Singapore, we have developed a smarter approach to transform your tax function into a data-driven, digitally enabled one aligned to your business goals.
Our smarter transformation fits into your business, not the other way round
Establishing the right operating model is key to helping your tax team provide more and better reporting and compliance, in less time. How do we do that?
Our KPMG solution architects will work with you to understand your current state, conduct rapid diagnostics, benchmark your data and share our observations. This review process allows us to customise a transformation strategy that is not only right-sized for your business, but also delivered at the right cost and fits right into your tax strategy.
