EY Global Tax Platform

What EY can do for you

In the complex global tax landscape, multinational organizations need access to real-time global data that offers clear insights into their opportunities, obligations and risks. While some service providers claim to have technology that can tackle this challenge, EY Tax offers end-to-end capabilities to support your worldwide tax function. Over the last several years, we have invested in core data management capabilities, developing an innovative end-to-end platform that supports all tax business solutions – the EY Global Tax Platform.

EY Global Tax Platform (GTP)

Built by leveraging our technology and managed services domain knowledge, GTP redefines how tax operates, utilizing Microsoft Azure cloud technology to gather and store data in a safe, secure environment. GTP combines a common data platform with the power of dashboards, reporting and advanced analytics to better support your evolving needs. By gathering data from disparate systems and sources into one seamless platform, you can transform data into insights that will support informed decisions.

GTP also integrates with leading-class tax reporting software to provide coverage for your global footprint. GTP helps you address your global tax challenges cost efficiently and allows your tax function to focus on what it does best: driving value through planning.

Benefits of GTP

Mitigate risk

By giving you real-time access and transparency, GTP helps mitigate risk. Our portal enables you to be proactive and know exactly which filing may be missing or late, and which steps are incomplete or in process. You can also see roadblocks, and specific bottlenecks, across a project or engagement. Finally, you have a record of changes if questions arise later. Because the portal is dual-sided, clients and EY teams see the information and source data in real time.

Control cost

With your data stored in a central data lake, you can repurpose the data for different projects, and avoid requesting or collecting data more than once. Utilizing direct data acquisition, we can further automate data gathering, reusing structured data. This supports not only compliance, but also planning while delivering additional insights. Also, GTP allows clients and the organization to easily scale up or down by using the best talent across the globe for projects, within your organization or ours. As the legislative environment becomes more complex, GTP also helps future-proof your tax department and avoid unnecessary or redundant technology maintenance and investments.

Drive value

GTP analytics generate real-time exception-based insights at your fingertips to support your planning efforts and enable you to take action immediately. Ultimately, by streamlining and automating your time-intensive tasks, GTP frees your people to address higher value-added projects such as developing plans to keep pace with new tax developments and support audit controversy.
