big data technologies and simplification provisions to tackle tax evasion: on friday, january 31, scholars and experts discuss tax compliance and privacy at the conference hosted by sant’anna school institute of economics
New computing technologies and machine learning are redefining tax compliance and enforcement. Big data, in particular, help contribute to increasing domestic revenues by enhancing tax compliance, and improving the relationship between taxpayers and tax administrations.
Using big data for tax policies help tackle tax evasion and avoidance. By reducing the tax evasion, simplification provisions including data mining and the collection of third-party information may pose significant threat to privacy. Is it a real threat? To answer this question, scholars and experts explore the various approaches to improving tax compliance.
Ensuring one shared vision on costs of simplification as compared to traditional enforcement actions, experts will focus on the benefits of simplification and the privacy concerns providing an overview of different policies that contribute to the challenging task of making tax administrations more effective and more efficient.
On Friday, January 31 (aula magna, at 2.00 pm) the “Il Fisco del futuro: nuove tecnologie, semplificazione tributaria e lotta all’evasione” conference brings together experts in fiscal sustainability to discuss emerging issues in tax compliance and privacy implications.
