THE DRIVERS OF TAX REFORM: THE KEY PLAYERS AND KEY FORCES FOR CHANGE

We live in turbulent times with international discussions on fair share
taxation, climate change and requirement to tax with the need to use new
technologies. Who are the players and what are the drivers in these discussions?
These drive global tax reforms with a serious current and future impact on
indirect tax operations for businesses. 

Prof. Dr. Jeffrey Owens will guide us through this landscape and highlight the
international policy agenda, and the challenges and opportunities of a digital
roadmap for tax administrations.

 

SPEAKER:
Prof. Jeffrey Owens, Director of the WU Global Tax Policy Center - Institute for
Austrian and International Tax Law

THE CHANGING ROLE OF THE TAX FUNCTION

The world is changing at rapid speed, affecting global trade, and the way taxes
are collected. The tax function needs to adjust to accommodate and be ahead of
these changes, but what are your options for people, systems, processes, and
organization? You will need to assess what’s coming and what’s on the tax
administration’s horizon.

In this session, we will explore this as we dive into tax digitization from both
a business and a government perspective.

 

SPEAKER:
Peter Boerhof, VAT Director - Vertex Inc.

INDIRECT TAX - THE FINANCE SYSTEM TRANSFORMATION

As the external tax landscape evolves it creates a demand for an internal
transformation to effectively meet these evolving demands.

Embarking on a transformation of your tax function whether it is initiated by an
overall finance transformation or just a focus on indirect tax, is quite a
daunting journey. The drivers for this change might be a stressed relationship
with IT due to legal fiscal requirements burdening an ERP not fit for purpose.
Change might also be needed because your existing tax infrastructure is slowing
down business growth or the ability to enter new markets or different channels. 

Coupling these internal challenges with a constantly changing tax landscape
means high visibility, an impossible time scale and most importantly, the demand
that the solution can see the future and will meet the continually increasing
demand for data, accuracy and real-time reporting.

 

We will discuss how you can keep up with the constantly changing tax and
regulatory landscape and transform tax in your business.

RISE OF THE OMNICHANNEL

The covid pandemic has accelerated a trend that has been in place for some time.
There is increasing demand on businesses to diversify how they engage with
customers, which presents both opportunities and challenges.

Embracing omnichannel promises significant increases in total addressable market
and new opportunities to diversify business models. These changes come with new
tax challenges that businesses frequently find themselves unprepared to deal
with in short timeframes.

In this session we will look at some of the typical channel and model changes
that we see in the market, and we will look at the typical tax challenges that
arise on the back of these changes and how businesses might best address these
challenges.
