For companies with substantial sales or purchasing volumes, making accurate taxability decisions around each transaction is important to manage indirect tax costs. However, making these decisions is not always easy. The processes and systems that support indirect tax reporting cut across not just tax, but other functions within the organization. As a result, the indirect tax function is inherently decentralized, leading to inefficient processes, inaccurate data and, perhaps more significantly, excess costs.
