ITR and Thomson Reuters hosted a webinar on November 17 to discuss how indirect tax challenges can be simplified through the use of technology.

 




 

 

Watch ITR’s webinar on using technology to solve indirect tax challenges

In association with Thomson Reuters, ITR hosted a live webinar on November 17 at 8am BST (London time) / 1.30pm (India time) / 4pm (Singapore time).

Keeping up with ever-changing global indirect tax laws as well as increase in digital reporting requirements and regular tax audits are becoming a challenge for indirect tax departments and may increase the risk of non-compliance. 

According to the Thomson Reuters State of Corporate Tax Report 2021, more than half of tax departments anticipate significant changes to regulatory requirements for indirect tax – more specifically on increased digitised tax filings and real-time remittance requirements. The approach to resourcing indirect tax work is either ‘predominantly’ or ‘completely’ in-house for seven-in-ten corporate tax departments surveyed. The report also reveals that half of corporate tax departments feel under-resourced.

Are traditional systems enough to stay ahead of the worldwide trend toward digital tax reporting and address the resourcing challenge?

Hear from a panel of tax experts as they share their perspectives on utilising content-driven cloud technology solutions that help drive efficiency, mitigate compliance risks and enable strategic business decisions. 

This webinar also covers:

  • Key elements of a best-in-class indirect tax department;

  • Benefits of tax technology over enterprise resource planning (ERP); and

  • How to connect the dots within your business as well as to what’s happening around the world.

The 60-minute webinar was moderated by Deepak Bolia of Thomson Reuters, and facilitated by ITR. The webinar was followed by a Q&A session.
