Tax governance in a platform way
In the tax world of today ‘Tax governance’ is a well-known concept, but it also raises a lot of questions. What does tax governance mean exactly? What does it mean for my organization? What actions should I take regarding tax governance? To answer these questions a good understanding of your tax processes and legislation is necessary. At Taxvibes, we have the knowledge to answer these questions and we can help you with the selection and implementation of a solution to be in control over your tax processes and procedures.
Tax governance involves implementing sustainable processes and procedures within a corporate governance framework to manage tax risks and ensure compliance with tax laws and regulations. This includes creating a long-term tax strategy, assigning clear roles and responsibilities, and managing tax risks on a project-by-project basis. Its importance for companies lies in avoiding legal and financial penalties, reputational damage, and operational disruptions that can result from non-compliance with tax laws while also maximizing tax opportunities. Thus, tax governance encompasses the processes, policies, and systems put in place by a company to manage its tax affairs effectively.
The fact that tax governance is not easy to explain, makes creating a platform for tax governance extra challenging. Especially since every company has different strategies, processes and procedures. As a tax specialist, how do you create great tax governance while managing all your activities and taking your organization with you on your journey?
