Home Services Digital Digital Income Tax & Reporting Income Tax Processes

Income tax processes – digital, automated and integrated

Digital requirements for income tax are constantly increasing: tax-relevant information needs to be available more quickly, more transparently and, where possible, in real time – for CFOs, financial investors, family offices and, increasingly, for foreign tax authorities. To achieve this, income tax data must be consistently collected digitally, processed and made available for reporting and filing.

Our approach: to design income tax processes that are consistently transparent, seamless and largely automated, so that the tax department can concentrate on its core task – the application of tax law.

Why digital income tax processes are crucial:

Ensure data is recorded completely and accurately right from the source

Understand information from the tax calculation process without the need for time-consuming manual analysis

Process data within a harmonised system landscape

Minimise manual intervention and data transfers as far as possible

Time for tax matters rather than time spent gathering and processing data

Your objectives with digital income tax processes

Tailor-made income tax processes integrated into standard software support you in the following ways:

Reduce the workload involved in tax reporting

By integrating data and systems, the amount of manual work involved in tax reporting and tax returns is significantly reduced.

Use resources more efficiently

Routine tasks are automated, so that skilled workers spend less time on manual tasks and have more time to focus on value-adding tasks.

Ensuring transparency regarding tax-related data

Digital processes provide a quick overview of all tax-related information – including real-time reporting where required.

Automate tax calculation

A high degree of automation in tax calculation reduces the risk of errors and speeds up the preparation of tax returns.

Improving quality and compliance

Better data quality and transparent processes reduce the risk of penalties, interest charges and costly tax defence measures.

Identifying opportunities for tax optimisation

Structured and analysable data helps to identify tax risks and planning opportunities at an early stage.

Establishing a reliable basis for planning and forecasting

Up-to-date and accurate tax data is made available promptly for planning, budgeting and forecasting purposes.

Integrate the results of the tax audit

Findings from tax audits can be fed directly back into tax return and financial statement processes and embedded permanently within the system.

Our solutions for income tax processes

The following components, amongst others, are used to digitise and optimise your income tax processes:

  • Development of a digitisation roadmap for the income tax function
  • Implementation and global roll-out of external tax tools, e.g. the market-leading solution LUCANET Tax Portal
  • Process consulting and optimisation – comprehensive or in selected areas such as consolidation
  • Specialist support in the areas of tax accounting, tax reporting and tax compliance
  • Preparation of tailored guidelines and user manuals to ensure consistent application
  • Optimisation and automation of validation processes to identify sources of error at an early stage

Experience, best practices and a holistic approach

Thanks to numerous digitalisation projects across a wide range of industries and company sizes, we have extensive practical experience and a set of tried-and-tested best practices for digital income tax processes.

Our focus is not only on technical automation, but on a holistic approach. Our experts guide you through all project phases and provide support – if required – even beyond the go-live stage. In doing so, we take into account:

Professional support

Process consulting

Change Management

From Roadmap to Implementation

Ideally, a successful project begins with a jointly developed digitalisation roadmap for income tax. This provides:

  • clear objectives,
  • a structured and scalable approach,
  • as well as the necessary alignment with the company’s (global) IT strategy.

On this basis, the implementation strategy tailored to your specific needs can be rolled out step by step and flexibly – from the initial pilot phase to a fully rolled-out digital income tax landscape.
