Getting ahead of the indirect tax challenge

Navigate the complexity of global indirect tax by bringing together digitisation, compliance and policy to transform and future-proof your indirect tax function.
Indirect taxes—including VAT/GST/Sales tax, property tax, customs and excise duties, and environmental tax—are becoming more prominent and demanding worldwide. Governments are increasingly looking at Indirect tax as a source of revenue and overhauling how it’s reported and collected—with real-time reporting and e-invoicing high on the agenda to improve compliance and reduce fraud.
International trade and e-commerce has turned the world into a global village—highly interconnected with physical and virtual worlds merging—making indirect taxes particularly relevant for all cross-border businesses. In this fast growing arena, there is growing public pressure on governments to increase the business tax take, with intense focus on the companies at the forefront of the digital economy.
While the international tax framework for both direct and indirect taxes is evolving as a result, the swift pace and complexity of changes affecting indirect tax world are unparalleled and increasingly difficult to manage.
All businesses now have greater responsibility for indirect tax governance. And with tax authorities digitising compliance and harnessing technology to sharpen their focus and audit interventions, it’s now more important than ever to ensure that your indirect tax processes are up-to-date and reliable.
