Streamline your indirect tax processes
Indirect tax technology
Your indirect tax technology challenges
The world of indirect tax is undergoing rapid transformation. What was once a largely compliance-driven function is now shaped by continuous regulatory change, real-time reporting requirements, and accelerating digitalisation. Governments are introducing e-invoicing mandates, increasing data transparency, and expecting near-instant accuracy across VAT and customs processes. At the same time, organisations are modernising their technology landscapes through cloud adoption and exploring the use of AI. This creates a highly interconnected environment where tax, finance, and IT must operate seamlessly together.
Against this backdrop, many organisations struggle to keep pace. They face growing obligations, limited resources, and difficulty in finding professionals who combine tax expertise with process and systems knowledge. Bridging the gap between theoretical tax advice and practical implementation across invoicing, accounting, and reporting remains a persistent challenge—especially when teams are expected to do more with less.
How can PwC help?
We support organisations by turning indirect tax technology into a structured, value-driven journey instead of a one-off transformation. Starting from where your business is today, we apply a modular approach that spans ideation, return on investment (ROI) assessment, design, implementation, and future optimisation. Each step is supported by targeted sessions—both standardised and tailored—covering the full lifecycle from determination through to reporting, all underpinned by robust data, processes, and controls.
A key strength is our combination of deep business expertise and close alignment with leading technology providers. By thoroughly understanding third-party solutions, we help organisations to navigate vendor selection through clear design sessions, offering a balanced view of options, including pros and cons. This enables informed decision-making and reduces implementation risk. Looking ahead, we help organisations explore AI-driven compliance and develop agents that automate key tax processes. The result is a scalable, future-ready tax function that delivers efficiency, accuracy, and long-term value.

E-invoicing
With the rise of mandatory e-invoicing, real-time reporting, and/or periodical and on-request e-audit requirements, organisations are quickly investigating the best way to respond to remain legally compliant without impacting the service they provide to their customers.
We are proud to host PwC’s Global Centre of Excellence for e-invoicing. Our phased and modular approach helps companies and public bodies to navigate changing regulations while achieving their business goals.
Indirect Tax Edge
Backed by PwC’s global network, Indirect Tax Edge software is a modular, data-analytics-driven solution that helps organisations manage their global indirect tax compliance, including real-time reporting, period-end compliance reporting, and data and process quality management.
VAT Insights
PwC’s VAT Insights uses data analytics to help organisations perform a VAT health check on their transactions. By visualising insights gleaned from gathered data in clear dashboards tailored to the needs of different functions—including VAT, accounts payable, finance, Salesforce, and shared services—organisations are able to detect hidden non-recovered (Belgian) VAT or late-recovered VAT, as well as gain more information about their suppliers, customers, and types of transactions.
Electronic compliance radar (eCR)
With e-invoicing and e-reporting obligations changing at increasing speed, it’s vital for organisations to keep track of all their current and obligations—as well as be aware of what’s on the horizon. This is where PwC’s electronic compliance radar steps in. Updated weekly and containing information on relevant regulations in over 100 countries, the eCR supports organisations to identify the impact on their global business, enabling them to determine a timely action plan and update their systems to ensure continued regulatory compliance and avoid potential penalties.
