A practical guide to reinvent the tax function

Organized around six transformation pillars, this guide helps leaders evaluate their current state, understand where gaps exist and determine where to focus next.



Modern tax demands a different operating model

If you’re feeling pressure from rising audit demands, expanding global tax compliance requirements, real-time reporting and the need to scale AI for tax responsibly, you’re not alone. These forces are stretching already resource-constrained tax functions to their limits. At the same time, the increasing complexity of the tax environment underscores the importance of informed decision-making.

The challenge is that most tax operating models were never designed for the speed, complexity, transparency and data requirements of today’s regulatory environment.

Developed by EY Tax professionals, A practical guide to reinvent the tax function provides insights to help you modernize your tax operating model and deliver outcomes you can stand behind.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Assess opportunities to modernize the function across people, process, data and technology
  • Identify operational and tax data challenges limiting scale, efficiency and tax analysis
  • Determine critical talent and skills gaps in the way of tax operating model modernization
  • Prepare for increasing demands around transparency, reporting and compliance
  • Consider approaches for developing a more connected and scalable tax operating model

The organizations getting ahead are rethinking how tax operates — not just modernizing what exists, but deploying more intelligent, scalable execution.
