Is Your Tax Function Ready for the AI Era? Rethinking Global Indirect Tax for Australian Multinationals

Overview

Global indirect tax is moving beyond its traditional role as a compliance obligation. As organisations expand across markets and regulatory requirements continue to evolve, finance and tax leaders must consider how the function can better support growth, transformation and commercial decision-making.

AI is adding a new dimension to this conversation, offering the potential to interpret complex requirements, identify overlooked risks and automate activities that have traditionally relied on significant manual effort. However, questions remain around accuracy, trust, governance and the appropriate role of human expertise.

This roundtable will explore how Australian multinationals are rethinking global indirect tax for the AI era. The discussion will examine how organisations can strengthen compliance today while building the knowledge, processes and technological foundations required for a more intelligent and strategically valuable tax function.
