Advancing tax administration: Role of technology in India’s tax ecosystem

Over the last few years, the Government of India has been steadfastly focused on transforming tax administration by incorporating state-of-the-art technology. This initiative goes beyond mere amendments to tax laws, representing a comprehensive, reimagined framework for tax governance. As a tax professional, I have observed the substantial effects of these reforms on tax authorities and the taxpayer community. The integration of sophisticated technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) is redefining how businesses view their compliance data and processes, while also reshaping the roles of tax and finance controllers in India.
