The challenges of tax research

One of the biggest challenges of tax research is the time-consuming manual processes required. To ensure accuracy in filing, firms must manually sift through pages and pages of information to find what they need — a process that takes an immense amount of time and effort. Furthermore, it leaves room for human error, with the risk that mistakes could be made in filing or advice given incorrectly.

Staying up to date with ever-changing tax laws is also a challenge for firms performing their own research. With new regulations being introduced all the time, it can be difficult to keep track of all the changes, meaning firms may miss out on key rules or regulations that could have implications when filing.

In addition to this, professional tax research services can be expensive and provide limited access to resources. This makes it difficult for firms without access to specialist tools and technology to gain accurate information quickly and efficiently. Finally, inadequate access to tax information and resources further complicates the process, as firms don’t have enough current or reliable data at their fingertips for accurate decision-making.
