EY-ET Tax Tech Dialogues

85% of companies wish to re-engineer their tax function and develop point based solutions for specific problems to achieve a future ready tax function.

Business requires organizations to revisit their decades-old tax models and processes, to be geared to navigate through evolving regulatory changes, disruptive technology, and talent dynamics. The business needs to redefine the operating model, with right people, process and technology to effectively forecast and plan strategically.

Against this backdrop, EY and The Economic Times are collaborating to bring Tax Tech Dialogues 2022, an exclusive session to discuss and deliberate on ‘How is technology re-defining your tax landscape’.
