Analytics, Big Data and the art of the possible - VAT/GST and data management

Most organisations’ tax teams struggle with the accessibility, accuracy and integrity of their data.

Data management is the structured approach to managing these inherent issues, and it requires a sophisticated design and leading edge technology to be truly effective. When considering this it is important to be pragmatic and realistic in what can be achieved, and to weigh up the cost/benefit of each decision, moving away from conceptual discussions (of which there have been many) into the practical.

This report will:

  • Provide context to the discussion around data management in VAT and GST, why it is important, what has been done and how it is evolving.
  • Discuss some of the key data management challenges and illustrate some cutting edge techniques being applied to those problems.
  • Clarify how ‘Big Data’ concepts and techniques fit into the debate and what these mean in practice.
