Tax morale is shifting. More often what is (still) legally allowed may not automatically be accepted by the public opinion. Reputational damage is imminent. Both on direct and indirect taxation the tax authorities have set their priorities.
The tax authorities not only want to receive more tax data but also faster and more often.
Also, there is a tendency to allocate the ultimate tax responsibility at the highest level in a company. Since last year in the United Kingdom, the Board of Directors has to sign off the company's tax strategy and also publish the tax strategy externally.
The new data requirements of the tax authorities have to be adequately assessed and interpreted from a tax risk management perspective to see whether the data requested contain any unforeseen and significant tax risks. The outcome of such an exercise could also make clear that the company has to reorganize its business and tax processes.
