Tax Management Market Dynamics
Driver: Automated compliance helps lower the burden on tax management and drives the overall market
Increased transparency helps ensure compliance and optimize tax strategies. Due to automation, the risk is mitigated, and high-quality tax data is recorded within the system. Standardizing tax compliance processes to scale operations globally, minimize risk, fulfill tax obligations with lesser effort, and lowers compliance cost. Tax management efficiency can be triggered by eliminating workarounds and offline data reconciliations or manipulations, thereby increasing transparency for tax audits and automating compliance tasks with AI & ML.
Restraint: Limitation in VAT design and administrative reforms as a setback for tax management market
Although VAT has been adopted in most developing countries, it often suffers from being incomplete in one aspect or another periodically. The cost has increased for business owners throughout the chain of production. This is due to the fact that VAT is calculated at every step of the sales process; bookkeeping alone results in a massive burden for a company, which then passes on the additional cost to the end consumer. Many crucial sectors, most notably the services, wholesale and retail sectors, are non-inclusive of the VAT net, or the credit mechanism is highly restrictive. This means there are greater delays in the provision of proper credits for VAT on inputs, especially when it comes to capital goods. As these features allow a substantial increase in the tax burden for the final user, they reduce the benefits of introducing VAT in the first place.
Opportunity: Indirect tax management and compliance offer a significant opportunity for the market to scale
Indirect tax offers notable opportunities to leverage analytics. Indirect tax management and compliance are handled by operating business units (BUs) in many organizations. Every transaction an organization enters into requires an indirect tax decision to be made, even if the decision is such that the transaction is/be exempt(ed) from indirect taxes. Hence, the volume of information that surrounds the ultimate indirect tax outcomes can be magnanimous. The process is mostly automated but relies on manual information entry as well, to a certain extent. Effective Tax management is often expected to handle and address indirect tax controversy and disputes without having day-to-day control over the processes that create and report liabilities.
Challenge: The absence of standardized tax rules is a challenge in the current tax management market
Government and tax departments continuously work to improve the tax collection process while bringing efficiency and fairness. However, several countries, such as the US and India, have different tax rules for each stateThe US has a separate tax rate at the federal, state, and local levels. The tax system in China is complex as taxes are imposed differently based on provinces. For instance, there are over 30 provinces in China, each with different tax laws. As per the data of the World Bank, 263 hours are consumed annually to prepare taxes in China.
Due to rapid globalization, cross-border activities are increasing. However, each country has different norms and tax rates for each type of good and service. This acts as a major challenge for tax management solution providers because, for each country or state, the solution needs to be compliant with both state and central tax rates.
By Component, the services segment to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period
With the increasing adoption of tax management software across major verticals, the demand for supporting services is growing among organizations. Services play a crucial role in helping organizations across industries to take complete advantage of tax management software. Tax management services include consulting; integration and deployment; and training, maintenance, and support. Organizations are adopting these services to enhance their tax management processes. Consulting services help an organization choose between a set of tax management software to match the latter’s specific requirements. These services advise end users and help them integrate and deploy software configured as per their requirements. They also help identify what type of integration organizations require to meet their tax demand. Moreover, they assist companies at every step of software usage.
By Tax type, the Direct tax to record a higher CAGR during the forecast period
Direct taxes are paid by taxpayers directly to the government without any intermediaries. They are levied on enterprises and are considered in the scope of the study. Some of the direct taxes considered include corporate tax, wealth tax, estate duty, gift tax, fringe benefits tax, and professional tax. Vendors are offering intuitive and comprehensive direct tax solutions for changing market needs. Direct tax software can file multiple types of returns and provide a centralized user administration that helps simplify tax compliance processes. Multi-state and multi-national organizations face challenges related to tax filing due to the differences in jurisdictions. However, direct tax management software help in filing state, local, and international returns more accurately, quickly, and securely.
By Deployment mode, the cloud deployment model to continue with the higher CAGR during the forecast period
Organizations increasingly prefer cloud-based tax management software. Cloud-based deployment allows users to access the solution from anywhere on any device, such as personal computers, laptops, and mobiles. Cloud solutions eliminate the burden of system administration and maintenance so a business’s management can focus on value-added activities. Cloud deployment mode is designed to always be online and negate data loss. This makes cloud well-suited for indirect tax because those taxes must be calculated, retained and collected on a transaction-by-transaction basis, which is of a higher frequency. A company can efficiently conduct business if the platform it uses for indirect tax is always active and can move parallelly at the speed those transactions occur.
By Region, North America to exhibit significant growth during the forecast period
In terms of market size, North America is expected to be the major contributor to the global tax management market during the forecast period. The US and Canada are expected to be the major revenue contributors to the North American tax management market. The adoption of tax management solutions offers benefits, such as reduced deductible amounts, easy tax calculations, saving time, automatic tax filing, and a reduction in the number of errors. The developed economies in North America have been witnessing higher adoption of tax management solutions compared to other countries across the globe. The major tax management vendors in North America include Avalara, ADP, Intuit, and H&R Block. They have adopted several business strategies to enhance their existing product portfolios and expand their geographic presence in the tax management market.
